LAMC 1 expression is increased in HCC patients. A. LAMC 1 and GAPDH expression in tumor tissues (T) compared with adjacent matched normal tissues (N), as assessed by western blotting. (n = 4 paired, p=0.011, paired Wilcoxon signed-rank test). B. Expression of LAMC1 mRNA in tumor and match normal tissues by microarray (P<0.0001). C. Expression of LAMC1 mRNA in HCC with recurrence (T-R), HCC without recurrence (T-NR), match normal liver (MN) and normal liver (N) tissues by microarray. (TR and T-NR vs. MN, T-R vs. T-NR P<0.0001, P=0.0016 respectively) D. Expression of LAMC1 in normal liver tissue, hepatocellular carcinoma tumor tissue and matched liver with cirrhosis.
