From: MicroRNA-184 inhibits neuroblastoma cell survival through targeting the serine/threonine kinase AKT2
FACs analysis of annexin V staining in Kelly cells. (A) transfection with negative control oligonucleotide and (B) siRNA mediated knock down of AKT2 using siRNA. Cells were harvested for detection of externalised annexin V (apoptotic cells) and PI staining of DNA (necrotic cells). Double-stained cells (upper right quadrant) indicate cells in late apoptosis. The resultant increase in apoptosis caused by siRNA inhibition of AKT2 was highly significant (P < 0.0001). Analysis of caspase 3/7 activity in Kelly (C) and SK-N-AS (D) cells following siRNA knockdown of AKT2 relative to negative control (NC).
