Figure 7. MQDL detects EMT biomarkers in CRPC LTL-313 prostate tumors harvested from castrated hosts and from clinical prostate cancer.

Figure 7

(A) The CRPC LTL-313 model showed androgen deprivation induced more abundant expression of EMT markers in a cluster of cells within the tumor region, as revealed by QD labeling of EpCAM, N-Cad, and RANKL. (B) Similar EMT biomarkers were detected in a clinical primary prostate cancer specimen (Gleason score 6; 3+3) with documented bone metastasis. M denotes cells that completed EMT and E/M indicates cells undergoing partial EMT. ×400.
