Ephrin B3 siRNA induces elongated cell morphology and decreased cell growth of U-1810 cells. U-1810 cells were treated with Dharmafect only or transfected with non-target small-interfereing RNA (siRNA) or Ephrin B3-targeted siRNA (sequence 1) for 48 h before IR (8 Gy). Silencing of Ephrin B3 was confirmed at the mRNA level (a) using RT qPCR and at protein level using western blot (b). GAPDH was used as a loading control. The experiment presented is one representative out of three independent experiments. (c) The effects of Ephrin B3 siRNA on U-1810 cell morphology were examined using light microscopy (magnification × 400). Non-target siRNA was used as a negative control. (d) The effect of siRNA against Ephrin B3 on cell proliferation was analyzed using CFSE. Quantification of mean CFSE-IFL signal. Data are presented as relative values after normalization against non-target siRNA-treated cells in each experiment. T-tests were performed, P≤0.05
