Article Title: Mutant p53 stimulates cell invasion through an interaction with Rad21 in human ovarian cancer cells
doi: 10.1038/s41598-017-08880-4
Figure Lengend Snippet: The effect of mutant p53 on the expression of migration/invasion-associated genes in ovarian cancer cells. ( A ) Real-time RT-PCR shows the mRNA levels of four selected genes (S1PR1, EDN2, THBS1, and HB-EGF) in stably transfected SKOV3 EV and SKOV3 R248 cells. *P < 0.05 compared with the SKOV3 EV group. ( B ) SKOV3 cells were transiently transfected with empty vector, wild-type p53, and p53-R248. Real-time RT-PCR was performed to evaluate the mRNA levels of four selected genes (S1PR1, EDN2, THBS1, and HB-EGF) in the transiently transfected SKOV3 cells. *P < 0.05 compared with the empty vector group. ( C ) After transfection with p53 siRNA or control siRNA, real-time RT-PCR was performed to measure the mRNA levels of S1PR1, EDN2, THBS1, and HB-EGF in stably transfected SKOV3 EV and SKOV3 R248 cells. *P < 0.05 compared with the control siRNA-transfected SKOV3 EV group and # P < 0.05 compared with control siRNA-transfected SKOV3 R248 group. All expression levels were normalized to GAPDH. Results are the combined data (mean ± S.D.) from three independent experiments.
