Effects of 4-amino-2-trifluoromethyl-phenyl retinate (ATPR) on proliferation of MCF-7 cells after silencing of CRABP2.

Notes: (A) Immunofluorescence staining on MCF-7 cells confirms significant reduction of CRABP2 expression in the CRABP2-siRNA group. Representative images obtained with a 200× objective. (B) An MTT assay was performed to evaluate transfected MCF-7 cells that were untreated or treated with 1 × 10−6 mol/L ATPR for 24, 48, and 72 h. *P < 0.05, ***P < 0.001. For 48 h, ATPR(−) siRNA(−) vs ATPR(+) siRNA (one-way ANOVA, P < 0.001), ATPR(+) negative siRNA(+) vs ATPR(+) CRABP2 siRNA(+) (one-way ANOVA, P = 0.048). For 72 h, ATPR(−) siRNA(−) vs ATPR(+) siRNA (one-way ANOVA, P < 0.001), ATPR(+) negative siRNA(+) vs ATPR(+) CRABP2 siRNA(+) (one-way ANOVA, P = 0.034).
