Fig. 3: Mitochondrial MTCH2 is upregulated in both CRPC tissue and cells.

Expression levels of MTCH2 mRNA (A) and protein (B, C) in the CRPC tissue (“T”, derived from 15 different CRPC patients) or tumor-surrounding normal prostate tissue (“N”) were shown. MTCH2 mRNA (D) and protein (in both mitochondrial fraction lysates and mitochondria-null lysates, E) expression levels in primary prostate cancer cells derived from four CRPC patients (“pPC-1”, “pPC-2”, “pPC-3”, and “pPC-4”) and primary human prostate epithelial cells (“pEpi1”) were shown. The data are expressed as mean ± standard deviation (SD). Statistical significance is marked by *P < 0.05 when compared to “pEpi1” cells or “N” tissue.
