Article Title: NFATC3 – PLA2G15 Fusion Transcript Identified by RNA Sequencing Promotes Tumor Invasion and Proliferation in Colorectal Cancer Cell Lines
doi: 10.4143/crt.2018.103
Figure Lengend Snippet: Identification of 6 fusion transcripts (FTs) in the colorectal cancer (CRC) cell lines. (A) Presence of PPP2CA – SKP1 , CTNNBIP1 – CLSTN1 , AKAP13 – PDE8A , NFATC3 – PLA2G15 , FZD2 – RPS24 , and KRT8 – PKM2 FTs was confirmed by reverse transcriptase–polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) in CRC cell lines. (B) The NFATC3 – PLA2G15 FT was detected in colon cancer tissues by RT-PCR. N, normal tissue; T, tumor tissue. (C) The NFATC3 – PLA2G15 FT was validated in the colo-320 cell line using Sanger-sequencing. The FT breakpoint was passed from exon 9 of NFATC3 to exon 2 of PLA2G15 . (D) NFATC3 – PLA2G15 FT mRNA expression was observed in the colo-320 fusion-positive cell line and the colo-205 fusion-negative cell line by RT-PCR. Forward primers targeted NFATC3 exon 4, 6, and 8 (black arrows) and reverse primers targeted PLA2G15 exon 2 (red arrow). Distilled water (DW) was used for the negative control.
