Identification of new reference genes with stable expression patterns for gene expression studies using human cancer and normal cell lines
Abstract Reverse transcription—quantitative real-time PCR (RT-qPCR) is a ubiquitously used method in biological research, however, finding appropriate reference genes for normalization is challenging. We aimed to identify genes characterized with low expression variability among human cancer and nor...

We aimed to identify genes characterized with low expression variability among human cancer and normal cell lines.

Abstract Reverse transcription—quantitative real-time PCR (RT-qPCR) is a ubiquitously used method in biological research, however, finding appropriate reference genes for normalization is challenging. We aimed to identify genes characterized with low expression variability among human cancer and normal cell lines. For this purpose, we investigated the expression of 12 candidate reference genes in 13 widely used human cancer cell lines (HeLa, MCF-7, A-549, K-562, HL-60(TB), HT-29, MDA-MB-231, HCT 116, U-937, SH-SY5Y, U-251MG, MOLT-4 and RPMI-8226) and, in addition, 7 normal cell lines (HEK293, MRC-5, HUVEC/TERT2, HMEC, HFF-1, HUES 9, XCL-1).
