Fig. 2. KLF6 and PTTG1 mRNA levels in HCC patient samples compared with surrounding tissue.

Liver samples were analyzed from 18 patients with HCC by QRT-PCR. On average, there was a significant decrease of 70% (P < 0.0001) in levels of KLF6 transcript while PTTG1 levels were significantly up 2-fold (P < 0.001)
