(a-c) Comparison between SST-knockdown and control BON cells of expression of somatostatin (a), synaptophysin (b), and somatostatin receptor 2 (c) by qPCR. BON cells were reverse-transfected with two siRNA against SST to create KD 1 and KD 2 with a scrambled siRNA as a control. Data are from three independent experiments. * p < .05, ** p < .01.
Abbreviations: knockdown (KD), short interfering RNA (siRNA), somatostatin (SST)
