Figure Lengend Snippet: GAD1 is highly expressed in BC and promotes GABA synthesis. (a) Relative mRNA expression of GAD1 in MCF 10A cells and MAD-MB-231 cells was detected by qRT-PCR. (b and c) Relative protein expression of GAD1 in MCF 10A cells and MDA-MB-231 cells was detected by WB. (d) Levels of GABA in MCF 10A cells and MDA-MB-231 cells were detected by ELISA. (e) Expression of GAD1 in the normal population and cancer patients was analyzed on the UALCAN website. For in vitro assays, n = 6; for UALCAN analysis, normal n = 114 and primary tumor n = 1097; ✶ ✶ P <0.01, ✶ ✶ ✶ P <0.001. GAD1: Glutamic acid decarboxylase 1, BC: Breast cancer, GABA: Gamma-aminobutyric acid, mRNA: Messenger RNA, qRT-PCR: Quantitative real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction, WB: Western blot, ELISA: Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, UALCAN: University of Alabama at Birmingham Cancer.
Article Snippet: GAD1 overexpression, GAD1 knockdown, and negative control plasmids were obtained from Sangon Biotech Co., Ltd. (Shanghai, China).
