Figure 2. FOXP1 induces CASC21 high expression in CRC. (A) FOXP1 expression was detected by qRT-PCR in 80 pairs of CRC and corresponding adjacent normal tissues. (B) CASC21 expression was detected in HCT-116 and HCT-8 cells transfected with FOXP1 siRNAs or FOXP1 overexpression vector by qRT-PCR. (C) The correlation between FOXP1 and CASC21 expression analyzed in 80 paired CRC samples (n= 80, r= 0.483, P< 0.001). (D) ChIP assays were conducted to identify FOXP1 occupancy in the CASC21 promoter region. (E) Luciferase reporter assays were used to determine the FOXP1 binding sites on the CASC21 promoter region. All data represent mean ± SEM (n = 3-6). ^**P < 0.01 and ^***P < 0.001.
