a The representative bar chart for the results of the qPCR analysis showed the increased expression of NPBWR1 in rat primary neurons transduced with Ad-Tat (MOI: 2, 72 h). b Immunoblotting showed an increase in NPBWR1 protein upon Tat expression. c qPCR showed upregulation of NPBWR1 in lncRNA-U1 induced primary neurons, independent of Tat expression. qPCR analysis indicated a 2-fold increased expression of NPBWR1 when primary neurons were transduced with Adeno-U1 (MOI:2) for 72 h. d Immunoblotting confirmed the overexpression of NPBWR1 upon lncRNA-U1 up-regulation in primary neurons. e ICC confirmed increased NPBWR1 expression in primary neurons upon Tat/U1 treatment, the result of immunoblotting revealed the formation of protein aggregates in the cell borders upon manipulating lncRNA-U1 expression in neurons. f q-PCR analysis compared the NPBWR1 expression in neurons transduced with Ad-U1, Ad-U166, Ad-U1R as well as Tat and co-transduction of Tat and U1R revealing a correlation between lncRNA-U1 overexpression and changes in NPBWR1 expression. U166 splice variant did not, however, alter NPBWR1 expression. g immunoblotting analysis showed no lncRNA-U1 minor splice variant and confirmed the results from q-PCR analysis.
