Effect of KIAA1199 knock-down and over-expression on the expression of PLXNB3, SEMA5A and CTGF in fibroblast-like synoviocyte (FLS) cells. ( A). Real-time PCR of KIAA1199, PLXNB3, SEMA5A and CTGF transfected with scrambled siRNA, KIAA1199 siRNA duplex, pcDNA3.2DEST and pcDNA3.2DEST-KIAA1199 for 24 h in FLS cells; β-actin was used as a loading control. ( B). Western blotting of KIAA1199, PLXNB3, SEMA5A and CTGF transfected with scrambled siRNA, KIAA1199 siRNA duplex, pcDNA3.2DEST and pcDNA3.2DEST-KIAA1199 for 48 h in FLS cells; β-actin was used as a loading control. All experiments were performed at least in triplicates, the data are presented as mean ± SD; *P <0.05, compared with control (*significant differences).
