SUPYN knock-down increases CGB gene expression in TS21 primary cells. SUPYN-specific mRNA knock-down in TS21 primary cells using a siRNA (siSUPYN) or control siRNA (siC). (a) Quantitative RT-PCR results of ERVH48-1 transcripts. (b) Secreted SUPYN protein in siRNA-treated and untreated cells. SUPYN protein levels in primary trophoblast cell culture supernatants were quantified by a SUPYN-specific ELISA (ng/ml). Quantification was normalized to untreated samples cultured for similar time periods (48 or 72H) (c) SUPYN knock-down induced an increase in CGB gene expression. Expression is normalized to untreated samples cultured for similar time periods (48 or 72H). (d) The number of nuclei in SUPYN-expressing cells was counted and fusion indices were calculated. Experiments were performed using four independent samples with 5 independent microscopic fields evaluated for each sample. Values represent mean ± SD (n = 4). Statistical significance was set at *p < 0.05 and **p < 0.01 compared to matched scrambled siRNA-treated samples using Mann–Whitney U-test. n.s. : not significant.
