Figure 5.Influence of miR-519 on the senescent phenotype of HeLa cells.(A)
Forty-eight h after transfection of HeLa cells with either control (Ctrl)
siRNA or miR-519a, miR-519a levels were measured by RT-qPCR. (B)
Number of HeLa cells remaining by 72 h after transfection of Ctrl siRNA or
miR-519a as explained in (A). (C) β-galactosidase
activity in HeLa cells 5 days after transfection with either Ctrl siRNA or
miR-519a. (D) Seventy-two hours after transfection as indicated in
(A), the levels of the proteins shown were assessed by Western blot
analysis. The data in A,B represent the means and S.D. from three
independent experiments.
