Nhibitor TSA or after transient transfection of these cells with an expression plasmid encoding for BORIS were separated on an agarose gel. The bar chart shows the relative changes in mRNA expression levels of MAGE-A1 in MCF-7 cells by quantitative real-time PCR. The significant p-values are shown (C). H2O lane serves as a negative control. The housekeeping gene -Actin was selected as an internal
Activate the MAGE-A1 promoter and to which extent, we compared its influence with the stimulatory effect of 5-aza-CdR and/or TSA on MAGE-A1 transcription in cancer cell line settings. For our current investigations, we chose 3 breast cancer cell lines: MDA-MB-468, MCF-7 and BCM1 because of their different levels of MAGE-A1 and BORIS transcripts. As shown in Table 1 and measured by quantitative rea
Valuated by the Ct method as follows: Ct = Ct value of reference RPLPO - Ct value of mRNA of interest. The relative expression levels of the mRNA of interest corresponded to the 2^(Ct)*1000 value.The statistical analyses were performed using the SPSS software package, version 18.0 (SPSS Inc. Chicago, IL). Statistical difference of mRNA expressions was calculated using ANOVA with Dunnett test for a
