Methods： P19 cells were cultured with 0.9% DMSO for 18 days. Western blots of cardiac troponin I （cTnI） were used to identify cell differentiation. Total RNA was extracted from P19 cells during the process of differentiation at various time points：pre-differentiation（Day 0）, and Day 1 to Day 18. The expression levels of CCNL2 gene mRNA and protein were evaluated by RT-PCR and Western blot, respectively. Results： After being induced to differentiate by DMSO for 4 days in suspension, spontaneously and rhythmically beating ceils were seen at 8 day, which were cTnI-positive. In P19 cells, both the expression level of CCNL2 gene mRNA and protein were gradually down-regulated. Conclusion： Both the expression of CCNL2 gene and protein were down-regulated during the process of the differentiation of P19 cells into cardiac myocytes, suggesting a possible role for this cyclin in their differentiation.展开更多
