Figure 5From: Acute ablation of PERK results in ER dysfunctions followed by reduced insulin secretion and cell proliferationGlobal protein synthesis is normal following acute ablation of PERK. A. Incorporation of 35S translabel into total TCA-precipitable protein did not differ between AdDNPerk-infected and AdLacZ-infected cells at 24 hr (A) or 16 hr post-transduction (data not shown). Values are means ± SE from three replicate samples. B. Cyclohexamide (CHX) did not inhibit the induction of ERp72 and BiP mRNA in AdDNPerk-infected 832/13 cells. At 12 hr post-transduction, cells were treated with 5 mg/ml CHX for 4 hours before RNA was extracted for Real-time quantitative RT-PCR. Values are means ± SE, from three replicate samples.Back to article page
