BACKGROUND GAPDH, beta-actin and 18S rRNA are widely employed as internal control genes, with the assumption that they are expressed constitutively to similar degrees in different cells and tissues and under different experimental conditions. In this study, we tested this assumption by assessment of the transcription of these three genes in human colonic tissues using a quantitative RT-PCR. RESULTS GAPDH transcription was significantly greater in both colonic adenomas and cancers than in normal mucosa. In addition, transcription of beta-actin was significantly increased in cancers. The expression of 18S rRNA was essentially constant among these various tissues. Stable expression of 18S rRNA was observed during the growth of colonic cancer cells stimulated with serum, but both GAPDH and beta-actin transcription were up-regulated, coinciding with cell proliferation. CONCLUSIONS These results indicate that 18S rRNA is more reliable than GAPDH and beta-actin as an internal control gene for quantitative comparison of mRNA in colonic cancers.

D000199 Actins Filamentous proteins that are the main constituent of the thin filaments of muscle fibers. The filaments (known also as filamentous or F-actin) can be dissociated into their globular subunits; each subunit is composed of a single polypeptide 375 amino acids long. This is known as globular or G-actin. In conjunction with MYOSINS, actin is responsible for the contraction and relaxation of muscle.

D012333 RNA, Messenger RNA sequences that serve as templates for protein synthesis. Bacterial mRNAs are generally primary transcripts in that they do not require post-transcriptional processing. Eukaryotic mRNA is synthesized in the nucleus and must be exported to the cytoplasm for translation. Most eukaryotic mRNAs have a sequence of polyadenylic acid at the 3' end, referred to as the poly(A) tail. The function of this tail is not known for certain, but it may play a role in the export of mature mRNA from the nucleus as well as in helping stabilize some mRNA molecules by retarding their degradation in the cytoplasm.
