The effect of MF in UM cells is independent from the classical nuclear progesterone receptor. SybrGreen-based Real Time PCR quantified the gene expression profiles of PR, PAQR8, PGRMC1, PGRMC2, and NR3C1. β-Actin was used as a reference gene. mRNAs were amplified from either untreated cells or cells treated with 20 µM MF. The mRNA from MCF-7 cells was used as a positive control for the expression of the classical PR. No template control and no reverse transcriptase control were added in each assay. Individual runs were performed in triplicates
