    TRMT10A knockdown sensitizes β-cells to FFA-, high glucose- and ER stress-induced apoptosis. INS-1E cells (A–E), primary rat β-cells (F) and dispersed human islets (G) were transfected with control siRNA (siCT) or siRNAs targeting rat (siTRMT10A #1 and #2) or human TRMT10A (siTRMT10A #3 and #4). 48 h after transfection cells were exposed or not (CT) to oleate (OL), palmitate (PAL) and 28 mM glucose (G28), or to the chemical ER stressors cyclopiazonic acid (CPA), tunicamycin (TU) and brefeldin (BR), for 24 (A–B) or 16 h (C–E). Apoptosis was examined by propidium iodide and Hoechst 33342 staining (A–D, F–G) or Western blot for cleaved caspase-3 (E). Results are means ± SE (n = 3–5). The blots are representative of 4 independent experiments. * Treated vs CT; § siTRMT10A vs siCT. One symbol p

    Article Snippet: RNA interference and plasmid transfections Cells were transfected overnight with 30 nM of a control siRNA (Qiagen), or two single siRNAs targeting rat or human TRMT10A using Lipofectamine RNAiMAX (Invitrogen). siRNA-lipid complexes were formed in Opti-mem (Invitrogen) for 20 min as previously described . hrGFP and TRMT10A-hrGFP plasmids were introduced by lipofection in INS-1E cells or dispersed rat and human islet cells using Lipofectamine 2000 (Invitrogen). siRNA sequences, plasmid and Lipofectamine concentrations are described in and .
