A MCF10A cells transfected with 100 nM control RNA (cont RNA) or BLNK-specific siRNA (BLNK siRNA) 7 or 9 were detached for 3 h (3D) and assayed for BLNK expression by western blotting. α-tubulin was used as a loading control. B MCF10A cells treated as in A were allowed to form colonies in monolayer immediately or after being detached for the indicated times. The ratio of colony number formed by the cells detached for each time period to that formed by the cells plated in monolayer immediately after transfection is shown in each case. This ratio observed for the cells detached for 24 h was designated as 1.0. The data represent the average of three independent experiments plus the SD.
