Down-regulated miR-26b and up-regulated erythropoietin producing human hepatocelluar A2 (EphA2) in different hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cell lines

Human HCC cell lines, including HepG2, SMMC7721, Huh7, Bel-7402, GGY7703, 97L, and 97H, and the hepatic cell line L02 were used to detect miR-26b gene and EphA2 protein expression by PCR and western blotting, respectively. (A) miR-26b gene shows reduced expression in all HCC cell lines, compared to the hepatic cell line. (B) EphA2 protein shows increased expression in all HCC cell lines compared to the normal hepatic cell line. Each bar represents the mean of three independent experiments
