From: Activation of the hedgehog pathway in advanced prostate cancer
Inactivation of Su(Fu) in prostate cancer. Two TURP (Transurethral resection of the prostate) tumors with loss of Su(Fu) expression were confirmed by Western blotting (A). One mutation of Su(Fu) found in prostate cancer PC48 is shown in B, which is predicted to create a STOP codon in the Su(Fu) coding sequence +1318. The levels of Gli1 and PTCH1 transcripts in prostate tissues were detected by real-time PCR (see methods for details) (C). Tumor tissues had higher levels of the target gene transcripts.
