(A) Quantitative RT–PCR of mRNA derived from microdissected MEs of normal breast tissue, low- and high-grade DCIS using PAI-1-specific primers. From each group one case was selected and a LightCycler™ analysis was performed in triplicate. The amount of PAI-1 mRNA was calculated by assorting each CP to a standard curve. (B) The RNA of MEs (DCIS and normal breast tissue) was isolated, reverse transcriptase reaction followed by a PCR using uPAR primers (see Materials and methods) was performed. The RT–PCR reveals a 311 bp product in both probes (DCIS and normal breast tissue); without RT reaction no product was received.
