Figure Lengend Snippet: CDK8 and β-catenin mRNA expression of CDK-siRNA transfected HCT116 cells detected by RT-PCR . 48 h later of CDK8-siRNA transfection, RT-PCR was performed to detect CDK8 and β-catenin mRNA expression. A: CDK8-siRNA group; B: scrambled siRNA group; C: non-siRNA group; D, E and F represented corresponding internal reference, and M: marker. Results are given as average value of the gray in three target genes and interal controls from three independent experiments.

Figure Lengend Snippet: CDK8 and β-catenin mRNA expression in colon tumor and adjacent normal tissues detected by real-time PCR . Fresh tumor and corresponding adjacent tissues from 12 patients were resected under sterile conditions and then snapfrozen in liquid nitrogen immediately. 200 mg tissue was taken out from liquid nitrogen and plused 1 ml Trizol when RNA was extaracted. Real-time PCR is performed for the expression levels of CDK8 (A) and β-catenin (B). Results are given as means ± SD from three independent experiments. P < 0.05.
