Antisense oligonucleotide-mediated knockdown of SNORD26 and SNORD96A. HACs (n = 6) were transfected with either 100 nM SNORD26 or SNORD96A anti-sense oligonucleotides (ASO, black bars) or with scrambled version (white bars) of this ASO. (A) 24-h SNORD26, (B) 48-h SNORD26, (C) 24-h SNORD96A, (D) 48-h SNORD96A. SnoRNA, rRNAs, hypertrophic, chondrogenic and OA genes were determined by qRT-PCR. Alkaline phosphates activity was measured in cell lysates of parallel wells following (E) SNORD26 knockdown for 24 and 48 h; (F) SNORD96A knockdown for 24 and 48 h. PGE2 protein was measured in media following (G) SNORD26 knockdown for 24 and 48 h; (H) SNORD96A knockdown for 24 and 48 h. Statistical evaluation was undertaken using an independent samples t test relative to the corresponding control condition using GraphPad Prism. The p values are indicated; &p < 0.06; *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01. Data represents the mean value of six technical replicates and error bars represent standard error mean.
