NSF knockdown results in decreased uptake function of SERT in HEK293-hSERT cells. Fluorescent substrate uptake activity was significantly decreased in HEK293-hSERT cells transfected with siRNAs targeting specific NSF sequences, siRNA-1 (â—†) and siRNA-2 (â–²), compared with negative control (â—‹) (control vs siRNA-1 P < 0.01, and control vs siRNA-2 P < 0.001, one-way repeated measures ANOVA with Tukey’s post hoc test). Nonspecific uptake was determined in the presence of 10 Î¼M fluoxetine (â– ). Data are expressed as a percentage of the control level. Each point corresponds to the mean ± standard deviation, n = 8. siRNA, small interfering RNA.
