Figure 2From: Loss of glutathione homeostasis associated with neuronal senescence facilitates TRPM2 channel activation in cultured hippocampal pyramidal neuronsTRPM2 mRNA levels do not change in hippocampal primary cultures with time in vitro. (A) TRPM2 mRNA was measured at 14, 21, and 29 DIV (n = 8 per group) by quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR). No significant change in cycle threshold values is observed (p = 0.89) (B) QPCR analysis of neuron specific enolase (ENO2) mRNA values used to control for neuronal content over time. No significant difference was observed (p = 0.9). (C) Normalized TRPM2 values for each sample (ENO2-TRPM2) were quantified. No difference in the normalized levels of TRPM2 mRNA is seen over time in culture (p = 0.51).Back to article page
