The results of qRT-PCR successfully verified the mRNA expression levels of ASNS, GPT2, RRM2 and NFE2L2 in DU-145 and RWPE-1 cells while the results of IHC staining exactly verified the relative protein expression levels of ASNS, GPT2, RRM2 and NFE2L2 between PCa and BPH tissues. The gene discussed is RRM2; the disease is posterior cortical atrophy.
