N. Chi, Yun, Z. Z., Tan, Z. H., Li, X. Z., Chen, B. T. B. G., Liu, J., Xu, L. B., Ma, K. W., Li, S. X., Liu, J. F., and Liu, C. X., Effect of p53 gene polymorphism on functions of prostate cancer cells, vol. 14, pp. 11700-11709, 2015.

Prostate cancer cells were transfected with plasmids [empty plasmids, wild-type pcDNA3.1-p53 (V/V), mutant type pcDNA3.1- p53 (G/G)] to analyze the effect of p53 gene polymorphisms on the proliferation, cycle, and apoptosis of prostatic cancer cells. Empty plasmids containing wild-type pcDNA3.1-p53 (V/V) and mutant type pcDNA3.1- p53 (G/G) were used to transfect PC3 and LNCaP cells, respectively. Cell proliferation was detected at 0, 24, 48, and 72 h using the MTT method. Cells were collected at 24 and 72 h.

Changes in cFLIP expression in the corpus luteum throughout the estrous cycle of Shibagoats

H. Z. Jin, Wang, Y., Liu, Y., Li, X. P., and Jin, Y., Changes in cFLIP expression in the corpus luteum throughout the estrous cycle of Shibagoats, vol. 14, pp. 12955-12966, 2015.

Changes in the expression of the anti-apoptotic protein cFLIP (cellular FLICE inhibitory protein) were examined in the caprine corpus luteum (CL), during development and subsequent maintenance. Corpora lutea at four different stages were collected from Shiba goats, to measure the expression of cFLIP mRNA, protein and immunolocalization. Expression of short form cFLIP (cFLIPS) mRNA was highest at the early CL stage, and decreased during late and regressed stages (P < 0.05).
