Figure 4. Effects of Tie-2 Silencing and Tie-2 Overexpression on Mpcs.
(A) Mpcs were incubated with Tie-2 siRNAs and scrambled control siRNA (S) and analyzed. (Aa) Tie-2, Pax7, p130, MyoD, and p57 expression were evaluated by RT-qPCR. (Ab) Mpc proliferation and differentiation were evaluated after Ki67 and myogenin/desmin immunolabeling, respectively.
(B) Mpcs were incubated with Tie-2-overexpressing plasmid and analyzed. (Ba) Pax7, p130, MyoD, and p57 expression were evaluated by RT-qPCR. (Bb) Mpc proliferation and differentiation were evaluated as in (Ab). Results are means ± SEM.
