Figure Lengend Snippet: (A) U2OS cells were transfected with non specific siRNA (NS) or two distinct GASL1 -specific siRNAs (si GASL1 #1 or #2) and cells were analyzed by FACS 72h post-transfection. Percentages of cells in G1, S, and G2/M cell-cycle phases are depicted. Results shown are an average of six independent experiments (*p<0.05,**p<0.01, ***p<0.005; two-tailed Student's t-test). (B) U2OS cells were transfected with either a nonspecific siRNA (NS) or siRNA directed against GASL1 . After 48 hr, cells were left untreated or incubated with Hydroxyurea (4mM, 18hr). The cells were then allowed to resume growth for 4 or 6 hours in fresh media. Cells were analyzed by FACS using Propidium-Iodide (PI) staining. (C) The bar graphs depict the average cell cycle distribution from four independent experiments in which cells were treated as in C (*p< 0.05, **p<0.01; two-tailed Student's t-test).

Article Snippet: For transfecting U20S cells with plasmids, polyjet transfection reagent (Signagen) was employed according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Figure Lengend Snippet: (A) U2OS cells were transfected with siRNA directed against GASL1 or a non specific siRNA (NS). Total RNA was extracted from the cells and the level of Gasl1 RNA was determined by real time qPCR, and normalized to Gapdh . (B) U2OS cells were transfected with either a non specific siRNA (NS) or GASL1 -specific siRNA and cells were counted at the indicated times post transfection. The cell numbers shown are an average of three independent experiments, each performed in triplicates. (C) U2OS cells stably expressing shRNA against GASL1 or a non specific shRNA were seeded at 5000 cells/dish, and cultured for 3 weeks. Then, the plates were Giemsa stained and the number of colonies determined. The assay was performed in triplicates. (D) The average numbers of colonies of four independent experiments performed as described in (C) (*p<0.05. two-tailed Student's t-test)
