BRD4 is overexpressed in PC. a Compared to adjacent normal tissues, higher BRD4 mRNA expression in ten fresh samples of PC. The GAPDH expression was detected as the endogenous control. b Representative Immunohistochemical images of BRD4 expression, which was primarily localized in the cell nucleus. Higher BRD4 protein expression was found in PC tissues. c 5 of 7 PC cells lines, including AsPC-1, MIAPaCa-2, PANC-1, SW1990 and CFPAC-1 had higher BRD4 mRNA than levels observed in normal pancreatic ductal epithelial cells HPDE. The GAPDH expression was detected as the endogenous control for mRNA expression. d Higher BRD4 and CAV-2 protein expression in PC cell lines. BRD4 was positive correlated with CAV-2 expression. The asterisk indicates that p is less than 0.05
