CCN5 knockdown reduces VSMC α-actin expression. Total cellular RNA was isolated from control and CCN5 RNAi treated VSMC. After reverse transcription they were subjected to Q-PCR analysis to assay α-actin message level. Graph is representative of relative α-actin levels in the 3 conditions. * indicates p < 0.05 with respect to the value for untreated VSMC. (AU = Arbitrary Units)
