Figure 3

Expression of BCL-2 family genes is altered by CAV1 in HCC. HLE shControl, HLE shCAV1, Huh7 +pControl and Huh7 +pCAV1 were treated with TGF-β (2 ng/ml) at the times shown after previous FBS starvation (2% FBS; 4 h). (a and b) Relative expression levels of BMF and BIM; L32 was used as house-keeping gene (N=2). Results are expressed as mean±S.E.M. (c) Upper panel: immunoblot of total protein extracts; β-ACTIN is presented as loading control. A representative experiment is shown (N=3). Lower panel: densitometric analysis of BIM relative levels; results are mean±S.E.M. of three independent experiments and are expressed as absolute values. Statistical comparison was done by two-way ANOVA with Sidak post-hoc test as shown in the figure: *P<0.05, **P<0.01, ***P<0.001
