From: Receptor Ck-dependent signaling regulates hTERT gene transcription
RT-PCR analysis of expression of hTERT, c-myc and PPARγ mRNA in normal human PBMCs exposed to growth medium containing 10% NHS along with antibody against receptor C k (Ab RC k ) and propranolol (PROP; 200 μM) for 0, 4 and 8 h (hours). (A) Representative agarose gel photographs showing ethidium bromide stained RT-PCR products of hTERT, c-myc, PPARγ and β2M genes. (B) The signal intensities of RT-PCR products were measured using SCION IMAGE analysis software and the mRNA expression was determined by normalizing the band intensity of target mRNA (hTERT, c-myc and PPARγ) to β2M band intensity. The normalized mRNA expression of each gene is expressed as percentage of that in control (0 h) cells. Each data point represents mean ± SD of three independent experiments.
