Article Title: The role of the retinoblastoma protein-interacting zinc finger gene 1 tumor suppressor gene in human esophageal squamous cell carcinoma cells

Figure Lengend Snippet: qPCR analysis of RIZ1 mRNA expression in TE13 cells transfected with pcDNA3.1(+)/RIZ1. RIZ1 mRNA expression was normalized to that of GAPDH. The difference was statistically insignificant between the empty vector and untransfected controls groups (P>0.05), whereas the deviation between the comparison groups and the pcDNA3.1(+)/RIZ1-transfected group was statistically significant (P<0.01). qPCR, quantitative polymerase chain reaction; RIZ1 , retinoblastoma protein-interacting zinc finger gene 1; GAPDH, glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase.
Article Snippet: The human ESCC TE13 cell line was purchased from American Type Culture Collection (Rockville, MD, USA) and cultured in RPMI-1640 containing 4.76 g HEPES, 2.0 g NaCO 3 , 10.4 g RPMI-1640 and 1,000 ml ddH 2 O (Gibco, Carlsbad, CA, USA), supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (Gibco), 1X L-glutamine (2 mM), 100 U/ml penicillin and 100 μg/ml streptomycin.
