Total RNA was extracted using the trizol isolation method (Invitrogen). mRNA levels of apoptosis genes were analyzed with the Mouse RT-MLPA kit (MRC-Holland)33 according to the manufacturer’s instructions. cDNA was generated using oligodeoxythymidine (oligo dT) and Superscript II Reverse Transcriptase (Invitrogen). Analysis of RNA transcripts were amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) using the primer-pair TGGACATACAAGCAGCCTGG/TTTTCCAGGGACTC TTGCTGG (CD268). 18S was used as internal control (TCAAGAACGAAAGTCGGAGG/GGACATCTAAGG GCATCACA).
