    ATCC tumorigenic human mammary epithelial cell line mcf10a
    Molecular changes associated with LFG‐specific siRNA treatment in MDA‐MB‐231 and <t>MCF10A</t> cells. (A) LFG mRNA expression measured by qRT‐PCR after 24 and 48 h. Expression was normalized to ACTB and calculated using the 2 −ΔΔCt method with MDA‐MB‐231 control cells as the calibrator. Data represent mean ± SD from three independent experiments. * p < 0.05 versus the corresponding control (Student's t ‐test). (B) Representative fluorescence images showing intracellular Ca 2+ ‐associated fluorescence in MDA‐MB‐231 cells following LFG‐specific siRNA transfection. Images shown are representative of three independent biological experiments ( n = 3). Cells were imaged using identical microscope settings, exposure time, gain, and illumination intensity for all experimental groups. Green fluorescence represents intracellular calcium‐associated fluorescence. Scale bar = 200 μm. (C) Relative expression of selected ER stress‐ and apoptosis‐related genes in MDA‐MB‐231 and MCF10A cells 48 h after LFG‐specific siRNA transfection, determined using the RT 2 Profiler PCR Array. Gene expression was normalized to ACTB (β‐actin) and calculated using the 2 −ΔΔCt method with the corresponding non‐targeting siRNA‐transfected cells as the calibrator. Genes with a fold change ≥ 2 or ≤ −2 were considered differentially expressed. Data are presented as mean ± SD from three independent biological experiments ( n = 3). Statistical comparisons were performed using an unpaired two‐tailed Student's t ‐test, with p < 0.05 considered statistically significant. Error bars represent standard deviation (SD). The asterisk indicates statistical significance compared with the control group ( p < 0.05)
