Quantitative real time-polymerase chain reaction was used to detect the TR3 mRNA expression levels in prostate cancer cells treated with zinc. The results show that there was no significant change in the TR3 mRNA expression levels in the PC-3 or LNCaP cells after different zinc treatment times (0, 4, 8, 12, and 24 h; P >0.05). mRNA, messenger RNA.
