Expression of SMOC2 mRNA and protein in human primary HCC cell lines and surgical specimens as evaluated by RT-qPCR and western blotting A. RT-qPCR revealed the relative expression of SMOC2 was significantly lower in tumor tissues compared to the matched adjacent non-cancerous tissues (n = 40; P < 0.001). B. Representative western blotting analysis of SMOC2 protein expression in eight paired HCC tissues and the matched adjacent non-cancerous tissues (N, matched non-cancerous tissues; T, HCC tissues). C. Relative SMOC2 protein expression was lower in tumor tissues than the matched adjacent non-tumor tissues (n = 40; P = 0.0252). D. Representative western blotting of SMOC2 protein expression in the normal hepatic cell line L02 and five HCC cell lines. E. SMOC2 protein levels were significantly lower in HepG2 and BEL-7402 cells than the normal liver cell line L02.
