SAMD9 regulates cell proliferation. A. RNAi for SAMD9 is effective in reducing protein expression. A 200 kDa band for the SAMD9 fusion protein was detected in Cos-1 cells after co-transfection of pLP-EGFP-SAMD9 with either pSUPER-RNAi-SAMD9-mut9 or pSUPER-RNAi-EGFP, but it is not detected after co-transfection with either pSUPER-RNAi-SAMD9 or pSUPER-RNAi-SAMD9-2nd. The expression of the EGFP-SAMD9 fusion protein was reduced in Cos-1 cells with RNA interference of SAMD9. B. Semi-quantitative RT-PCR for SAMD9 expression in MRC-5 cells. SAMD9 expression was reduced after RNA interference. C. Proliferation rate (Brdu incorporation percent) increased after RNA interference of SAMD9 in MRC-5 cells.
