The results of quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR, Figure1A) and western blotting (Figure1B) indicated that both BRMS1 mRNA and protein were markedly decreased in the examined NPC cell lines compared to the NP69, suggesting that low BRMS1 expression may be involved in NPC progression. This evidence concerns the gene BRMS1 and nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
