Figure 3From: Targeting melanoma growth and viability reveals dualistic functionality of the phosphonothionate analogue of carba cyclic phosphatidic acidThe LPA3 receptor mediates viability in A375 and MeWo melanoma cells. Individual LPA receptors were targeted with siRNA to sequentially inhibit receptor expression. (A) A375 cells were transfected for 48 h with the indicated siRNA and examined for viability. *P < 0.05, vs. Mock in A375 by Bonferroni's t-test and analysis of variance. (B) RT-PCR showing LPA receptor expression in A375 cells visualized using the Bioanalyzer 2100. (C) MeWo cells were transfected for 48 h with the indicated siRNA and examined for viability. *P < 0.05, vs. Negative Control (RISC-free) in MeWo. (D) RT-PCR showing LPA receptor expression in MeWo cells visualized using the Bioanalyzer 2100. (E) RT-PCR showing LPA receptor expression in normal human skin visualized using the Bioanalyzer 2100.Back to article page
