Validation of Novel Biomarkers for Prostate Cancer Progression by the Combination of Bioinformatics, Clinical and Functional Studies. by Saeid Alinezhad, Riina-Minna Väänänen, Jesse Mattsson, Yifeng Li, Terhi Tallgrén, Natalia Tong Ochoa, Anders Bjartell, Malin Åkerfelt, Pekka Taimen, Peter J Boström, Kim Pettersson, Matthias Nees

“…Based on the qRT-PCR results, significantly different mRNA expression was confirmed in normal prostate versus malignant PCa samples (for all eight genes), but also in cancer-adjacent tissues, even in the absence of detectable cancer cells, thus pointing to the possibility of pronounced field effects in prostate lesions. For the validation of the functional properties of these genes, and to demonstrate their putative relevance for disease-relevant processes, siRNA knock-down studies were performed in both 2D and 3D organotypic cell culture models. …”
