Western blot analysis of EN2 protein expression in the prostate cancer cell lines after 3 days of PAX2 siRNA treatment (Fig. 4B) demonstrated that EN2 expression was decreased 70% in PC3 (lane 2) and 26% in LNCaP (lane 4) prostate cancer cell lines as compared to PC3 (lanes 1) and LNCaP (lanes 3) controls. This evidence concerns the gene EN2 and prostate cancer.
