Differential gene expression examined by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Quantitative real-time RT-PCR data (mean (SEM)) on mRNA from primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) (n=6), primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) associated cirrhosis (n=4), hepatitis C virus (HCV) cirrhosis (n=6), and non-diseased donor liver (n=4). The depicted differential expression data are in two groups: (A) follistatin, CXC chemokine receptor 4 (CXCR4), connective tissue growth factor (CTGF), and extracellular matrix metalloproteinase inducer (EMMPRIN) and (B) Drosophila homologues including Wnt-13, secreted frizzled related protein 3 (FRITZ), beta-catenin, and Jagged-1.
