Figure Lengend Snippet: RT-qPCR validation of changes in expression of a subset of genes following BLID knockdown. RT-qPCR analysis of several genes in (A) MCF-7 and (B) MDA-MB-231 cells. β-Actin served as the internal control. (A) The y-axis title of the middle graph is identical to the y-axis title of the left graph. (B) The y-axis title of the middle-left graph is identical to the y-axis title of the far-left graph. *P<0.05 and **P<0.01 (BLID shRNA vs. the corresponding Scr shRNA group), n=3. shRNA, short hairpin RNA; Scr, scramble control; Ctl, control; RT-qPCR, reverse transcription-quantitative PCR; BLID, BH-3 like motif containing inducer of cell death.
