From: Selective apoptosis induction by antimicrobial peptide TP4 in MCF-7 breast cancer cells

Expression levels of Bcl2, Bax, p53, and caspase3 genes in MCF-7 cells were assessed following treatment with Tilapia piscidin 4 (TP4) at concentrations of 25% and 50%. The data were normalized to the housekeeping gene GAPDH and presented as the mean fold change ± SD. Each experiment was performed in triplicate, with a total of three independent experiments (n = 6, technical replicate). Different letters show significant difference between groups at p < 0.05 level. Asterisks (*) indicates significant difference between control and treatment groups at p < 0.01 level.
