From: Alternative splicing of TGF-betas and their high-affinity receptors TβRI, TβRII and TβRIII (betaglycan) reveal new variants in human prostatic cells

Figure 4

(A) Comparison of the exon structure of the human TβRII mRNA with the truncated sequence provided by Yang et al. [35]. Lines depict the 5'-UTR, 3'-UTR and ESTs with additional exons. (B) Expression pattern of both transcript variants of the TβRII gene in human prostatic cells (upper panel, 5-HTBR2B/3-HTBR2B). Expression of the novel splice variant TβRIIC in human prostatic cells (lower panel, nested PCR first round 5-HTBR2E3/3-HTBR2E4, second round 5-HTBR2Z/3-HTBR2E4) and normal human tissues (5-HTBR2E3/3-HTBR2CD) is shown. Additionally, GAPDH expression is also provided. (C) Fluorescence detection of TβRIICΔ4 (5-HTBR2E3/3-HTBR2CD, arrows) and TβRIIC is demonstrated. Caco, Caco-2; ctrl, control; g, gland; m, muscle; mu, mucosa; s, small; ma, marrow.
