Mean values ±1 SD of data from triplicate assays of two cDNAs each independently generated from a given RNA preparation (n = two separate RNAi experiments). The concentration of each mRNA from each experiment was first normalized to Gapdh mRNA, and the fold changes were then computed by using the normalized values (D D CT method).
