Knockdown of STAT3 by siRNA in primary human astrocytes and astrocytoma cells. A. Sequences of the synthetic siRNA duplex designed against human STAT3. B. The astrocytoma cell lines A172 and U251 and normal human astrocytes (NHA) cultured in 10 cm plates were transfected with 600 nmol STAT3 siRNA and after 72 hours processed for Western blotting with anti-STAT3 antibodies. The blots were subsequently stripped and reprobed with anti-β-actin or anti-Map Kinase antibodies as controls. C. A172 cells were transfected with 600 nmol STAT3 siRNA for the times indicated and processed for Western blotting with anti-STAT3 antibodies.
