Analysis for RNA-induced silencing complex cleavage products in treated tumors and immunoblot analysis for target protein complexes and death signals in primary tumors. (A) Total RNA was isolated from tumor tissue and used for 5′ ligation-mediated RACE to determine whether RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC)-mediated cleavage of the transcript occurred. The predicted RACE products are indicated to the right, the size (base pairs (bp)) of the DNA standards shown on the left, and the treatment administered indicated above the lanes. (B) Immunoblot analysis of MDA-MB-231 day 10 tumor lysates following intravenous treatments of 0.01 mg/kg TBG-siCDK11, TBG-siCK2, or TBG-siCON1 as indicated above the blots. The signals for three mice per group are shown and the proteins detected are indicated on the right side of the blots. Actin signal was used as the loading control. (C) The protein signals from all mice in each treatment group were quantitated by densitometry using ImageJ software (National Institutes of Health Bethesda, MD, USA). Data presented as mean ± standard error. *P <0.05, **P <0.01. CDK, cyclin-dependent kinase; CK2, casein kinase 2; si, small interfering; TBG, tenfibgen.
