Total RNA of transfected cells was prepared, and 2 μg of total RNA was reverse transcribed into cDNA using the PrimeScript™ 1st Strand cDNA Synthesis Kit (Takara) according to the manufacturer’s protocol. Quantitative real-time PCR was performed in triplicate on an ABI 7500 Real-Time PCR system using SYBR Green Master Mix (Takara). The mRNA levels were normalized to the expression of the housekeeping gene β-actin.
