Article Title: NAC1 promotes the migration of prostate cancer cells and participates in osteoclastogenesis by negatively regulating IFNβ
doi: 10.3892/ol.2017.7670
Figure Lengend Snippet: NAC1 promotes prostate cancer bone metastasis in a manner dependent on the induction of IFNβ. (A) NAC1 knockdown efficiency was verified in PC-3 cells by RT-qPCR and western blotting. (B) Genes associated with activation of osteoclasts were identified in RAW 264.7 cells by RT-qPCR and western blotting (**P<0.01, ***P<0.001). (C) The mRNA and protein levels of IFNβ were verified in PC-3 cells by RT-qPCR and western blotting (**P<0.01). (D) ELISA was performed to validate the protein level of IFNβ in the co-culture medium The differences between the siNAC1-1 or siNAC1-2 transfection groups and the NC group in the Figure were statistically significant (**P<0.01, ***P<0.001).
