PC3

Human

PC3 (PC-3) is a human prostate cancer cell line used in prostate cancer research and drug development. PC3 cells are useful in investigating biochemical changes in advanced prostate cancer cells and in assessing their response to chemotherapeutic agents. PC3 cells are also used to study viral infection in mammalian cells that exhibit an immune response.

PC3-cell based In Vitro RNA Expression Analysis Assay (Real-time PCR)

Real-time PCR is the most commonly used platform to evaluate mRNA or miRNA expression after conversion of mRNA or miRNA into cDNA. Amplification of a target gene is evaluated by quantifying th fluorescence signal generated using DNA intercalating dyes (SYBER green) or gene-specific probes. This technique can also be used to screen gene mutations, DNA modifications and confirm results obtained from northern blotting or microarray. Additionally, real-time PCR is the most suitable tool for gene expression analysis for RNA samples with low yields compared to hybridization techniques.

Gene and Protein Expression Assays

Following transcription, primary transcript RNA is converted into mature RNA by post-transcriptional modifications. Post-transcriptional modification includes three major steps namely the addition of a 5'cap, addition of a 3'polyadenylation tail and RNA splicing. Stability of RNA has been considered as very important for gene expression and proteins at the post-transcriptional level.
