Figure 4From: The zinc finger domain of Wilms' tumor 1 suppressor gene (WT1) behaves as a dominant negative, leading to abrogation of WT1 oncogenic potential in breast cancer cellsAlteration of expression of WT1 target genes in zinc finger domain lacking KTS-transfected MCF-7 cells. (a) Transient and (b) stable transfectants of MCF-7 cells were analyzed for the expression of Wilms' tumor 1 suppressor gene (WT1) target genes or nontarget genes (horizontal axis) with quantitative real-time PCR assays. The relative expression (vertical axis) of these genes in the transfected MCF-7 cells was calculated as compared with the pcDNA3 control. Results are the average of three experiments. AREG, amphregulin; BASP1, brain acid soluble protein 1; KTS, lysine–threonine–serine; WT1, Wilms' tumor 1 suppressor gene; ZF, zinc finger domain.Back to article page
