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. This evidence concerns the gene NFE2L2 and posterior cortical atrophy.
