Figure Lengend Snippet: Fig. 4. The effects of 10.0 μmol/L BPA, 32.0 μmol/L NP on genes and proteins expression in uterine leiomyoma cells. (a) Hierarchically clustered heatmap of differentially expressed genes associated with cell cycle after BPA and NP exposure. (b) E2F1, CCND1, CCNE2, MCM2, MCM3, MCM4, MCM5, MCM6 genes expression by q-PCR presented as relative changes. There were increased E2F1, CCND1, CCNE2, MCM2, MCM3, MCM4, MCM5, MCM6 genes expression in uterine leiomyoma cells treated with10.0 μmol/L BPA, 32.0 μmol/L NP for 48 h compared to control group (*P < 0.05). (c) Representative western blots and (d) band intensity bar graphs of proteins. There were significantly (*P < 0.05) higher expression levels of E2F1, CCND1, CCNE2, MCM2, MCM3, MCM4, MCM5, MCM6 in the cells treated with BPA and NP for 48 h compared to controls. The western band images shown are representative of three independent experiments and the data were expressed as mean ± SE done in three independent experiments.
