Figure Lengend Snippet: (A) RT-qPCR analysis of nuclear and cytoplasmic RNA fractions showing predominant cytoplasmic localization of circARs in VCaP cells. Cytoplasmic-localized RPL30 and nuclear-localized 45S were used for comparison. The cytoplasmic to nuclear RNA ratios are plotted as ΔCt between the cytoplasmic and nuclear Ct values. (B & C) Two-dimensional (B) and three-dimensional (C) confocal fluorescence microscopy of circAR-E3 RISH showing predominant cytoplasmic localization of circAR-E3 in a LuCaP 35CR tumor. DAPI was used for nuclear staining. 3D images were composited from z-stack analysis.
Article Snippet: The custom-designed circAR–E3 probe (Catalog No. 715141) targeting the backsplice junction along with the positive (Catalog No. 710171) and negative (Catalog No. 701021) control probes were purchased from Advanced Cell Diagnostics.
