Myosin VI and Associated Proteins Are Expressed in Human Macrophages but Do Not Play a Role in Foam Cell Formation in THP-1 Cells

Expression of mRNA for Myo6 and related proteins in THP-1 macrophages and HMDM. Total RNA was extracted from THP-1 macrophages (3 separate lysates) and HMDM (obtained from three individual donors). PCR was used to amplify gene products for Myo6 (a), Dab2 (b), AP-2α2 (c), and GIPC1 (d). Products were visualised on a 1.2% agarose gel containing 0.01% ethidium bromide (v : v).
