Western blotting showed that after primary breast carcinoma cells were respectively treated with UTI, TXT, and UTI+TXT for 48 h, the protein expression of IGF-1R and PDGFA decreased significantly compared with the control group (P < 0.05; Figure 5) in the order of UTI+TXT > TXT > UTI. This evidence concerns the gene IGF1R and bacterial urinary tract infection.
