Expression of RARβ and of CRABPII in murine P19 cells treated with different ligands of the retinoic acid receptor. A) Time-course analysis of RARβ transcripts. RARβ transcripts were assayed by Northern blotting (upper panel) and quantified by densitometry. A more rigorous measurement of each time point was carried out by submitting the same sample to real time PCR quantification, using, as for the Northern blot analysis, 18S RNA as an internal standard. All results are expressed relative to RARβ level of expression in non stimulated cells. Representative autoradiograms and PCR quantification are shown here, but have carried out 3 times with similar results. B) Time-course analysis of CRABPII transcripts. Assays were carried out as described in A), setting the reference (non stimulated cells) to 100%. Retinoid concentrations were as in Figure 3.
