Fig. 3From: Thymoquinone upregulates IL17RD in controlling the growth and metastasis of triple negative breast cancer cells in vitroEffect of TQ on methylation status at the proximal promoter region of the gene of IL17RD (- strand). Total 15 regions of the proximal promoter of the gene of IL17RD were checked by pyrosequencing, and the methylation rate was found lower in TQ treated BT-549 cells (8.19%) than in nontreated cells (12.93%), while in the case of MDA-MB-231 cells, methylation rate was also found lower in TQ treated cells (8.99%) than in non-treated cells (11.58%)Back to article page
