MeCP2 siRNA transfection was performed as previously publication54 (link). Briefly, HUVECs was transfected with 10 nM MeCP2 siRNA(2 hrs) (sc-156056) or scrambled siRNA (sc-37007) (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Dallas, TX, USA) using HiPerFect Transfection Reagent (QIAGEN) as instructed by the manufacture. 48 hrs after the transfection, the cells were harvested and protein was extracted from the cells for MeCP2 and VEGF expression by western blot analysis.
