Fig. 2. Relationship between basal or post-transplant HO-1 expression and liver transplant patient survival.

Fig. 2

Pre-transplant (prior to put-in) and post-transplant (2h after reperfusion) liver biopsies (Bx) were collected from fifty-one liver transplant patients. HO-1 expression in Bx samples was analyzed by Western blots with β-actin normalization. (A) Based on Western blot-assisted HO-1 expression in pre-transplant liver Bx, human OLT recipients were classified into “pre-low HO-1” (n=26) and “pre-high HO-1” (n=25) groups. (B) The cumulative probability of post-transplant survival (Kaplan-Meier method). Solid line indicates pre-high HO-1, while the dotted line pre-low HO-1 groups (log-rank test). (C) Based on Western blot-assisted HO-1 expression in post-transplant liver Bx, recipients were classified into “post-low HO-1 (n=26)” and “post-high HO-1 (n=25)” groups. (D) The cumulative probability of post-transplant survival (Kaplan-Meier method). Solid line indicates post-high HO-1, while the dotted line post-low HO-1 groups (log-rank test).
