The effect of phloretin on mRNA expression levels of SOD2, CAT, Gpx1, Gpx3 and CISD2 in PC3 and DU145 cells. Phloretin downregulated the mRNA expression levels of anti-oxidant enzymes in PC3 and DU145 cells. The mRNA expression levels of CISD2 was downregulated in PC3 and DU145 cell. Results are presented as means ± SEM

The effect of phloretin on mRNA expression levels of Twist1, β-catenin, TCF4, FoxA2, and c-Myc in PC3 and DU145 cells. The mRNA expression levels of Twist1, β-catenin, TCF4 and FoxA2 in PC3 and DU145 cells were downregulated. However, c-Myc decreased in PC3 but increased in DU145. Results are presented as means ± SEM
