BRCA1 mRNA and protein expression are modulated by DcR3. Real time reverse transcriptase PCR (A. means of triplicate samples by RT-PCR and B. examples of individual melt curves) and Western Blot (C) for BRCA1 demonstrate that the differential changes in BRCA1 expression between SKOV-3/OVCAR-3 and CaOV-3 cells exposed to DcR3 are in line with the changes seen in platinum responsiveness from the same DcR3 treated cultures.
