Article Title: CCAAT/enhancer binding protein delta (C/EBPδ) demonstrates a dichotomous role in tumour initiation and promotion of epithelial carcinoma
doi: 10.1016/j.ebiom.2019.05.002
Figure Lengend Snippet: C/EBPδ overexpression shows differential expression of epithelial and mesenchymal markers at the protein and mRNA level. a. A quantitative PCR (qPCR) measured the relative mRNA expression levels of C/EBPδ, and EMT/MET markers, including Snail, Slug, Zeb1, Zeb2 in two FTE cell lines overxpresing C/EBPδ verses control cells. b. A western blot analysis of EMT/MET protein markers perfomed on 57-FTE and 19-FTE overexpressing C/EBPδ compared to control cells. c. A qPCR of miRNA was performed on both 57-FTE and 19-FTE cells showing the fold change in various miRNAs in cells overexpressing C/EBPδ compared to control cells. Upregulated miRNA (Red) and downregulated (Green) were identified ( p < 0.05, n = 3). Data are represented as mean +/− SEM and p -values are calculated using Student t -tests, two-tailed, and a 2-way ANOVA.

Article Snippet: RNA was reverse transcribed into cDNA using miScript II RT kit (Qiagen). cDNA was then processed using miScript SYBR Green PCR kit (Qiagen) and was run on miScript miRNA PCR Array Human Ovarian Cancer plates (Qiagen, MIHS-110ZE-4, 384-well plate).
