Interestingly, the results of the present study indicate that breast tumors exhibit a higher level of A3 transcripts (than normal tissues) and support the possible key role of A3 adenosine receptor in tumor development. However, further studies based on real-time quantitative RT-PCR are needed to identify the exact gene expression levels.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
