Cholesterogenic gene expression affected by Ad4BP/SF-1 knockdown. a Cholesterogenic gene expression in Ad4BP/SF-1 knockdown or control Y-1 cells in the absence or presence of cAMP was determined by qRT-PCR. Bars with “*” are compared to siControl-treated cells. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01. Bars with an “^¶” are compared to vehicle-treated cells; ^¶p < 0.05, ^¶¶p < 0.01. b Srebf2 expression was determined in Ad4BP/SF-1 knockdown or control Y-1 cells by qRT-PCR. *p < 0.01. c Cholesterogenic gene expression was determined in Srebf2 knockdown or control Y-1 cells by qRT-PCR. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.025, ***p < 0.005. a–c Average values with SDs (n = 3) are indicated. Tuba1a was used as a negative control. The values for the siControl-treated cells were normalized to 1.0
