The Role of PinX1 in Growth Control of Breast Cancer Cells and Its Potential Molecular Mechanism by mRNA and lncRNA Expression Profiles Screening
Figure 3
Microarray screening of the mRNA and lncRNA expression profile alterations in PinX1 overexpressed MCF-7 cells and qRT-PCR validation. (a), (b), (c), and (d) Heat maps and scatterplots of the distinguishable mRNA and lncRNA expression profiles between the pcDNA3.1-PinX1 group and the empty vector group of MCF-7 cells. Hierarchical clustering was performed and the results were displayed as a heat map, in which red denotes high relative expression levels and blue denotes low relative expression levels. (e) qRT-PCR validation of the microarray data in different breast cell lines. The expression fold change of the pcDNA3.1-PinX1 group versus the empty vector group of MCF-7 cells was verified by calculating the of real-time RT-PCR results. The result showed that the fold change in expression by qRT-PCR was mainly consistent with the microarray data.
