siRNA knockdown of Panx 1 attenuates hypotonic solution-induced ATP release.

(A) mRNA levels of Panx 1 in Schwann cells treated with scrambled siRNA (NC) and Panx 1-siRNA (1–3). (B, C) Panx 1 protein bands in RSC96 cells in the scrambled (control) and Panx 1-siRNA (1–3) groups. (D) The relative expression of Panx 1 in isotonic solution after transfection with scrambled siRNA (Ctrl) or in hypotonic (Hypo) solution after transfection with scrambled and siRNA-Panx 1 (#3) is shown. (E) ATP release was assessed using scrambled siRNA and Panx 1-siRNA-treated Schwann cells. (F) Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release was assessed under the same conditions as ATP release. Data are expressed as the mean ± SEM (n = 3). *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01. #P < 0.05, vs. control group (one-way analysis of variance or Student’s t-test). Panx 1: Pannexin 1; siRNA: small interfering RNA.
