Effects of pomegranate emulsion (PE) treatment on transcriptional expressions of genes related to apoptosis in 7,12-dimethylbenz(a)anthracene (DMBA)-initiated rat mammary tumorigenesis. Rats were sacrificed 18 wk following the commencement of the study and mammary tumor samples were harvested from various experimental groups. Total RNA was extracted. The resultant complementary DNA following reverse transcription was subjected to PCR using specific sequences for various genes: BAX, BCL2, BAD, CASPASE 3 (CASP3), CASPASE 7 (CASP7), CASPASE 9 (CASP 9), poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP), and cytochrome c (CYT. C). Representative reverse-transcriptase-PCR pictures are shown with glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) as the housekeeping gene.
