L1 expression in normal and cancerous bladder tissues. The expressions of L1s in bladder cancer (n = 51) and normal tissues (n = 36) were measured by qRT-PCR for overall long interspersed element 1 (LINE-1, L1) (a), and the individual elements UID-33 (b), UID-59 (c), UID-60 (d), UID-66 (e) and UID-108 (f). TBP was used as a reference gene. Statistical comparisons were performed by the Mann-Whitney U-test.
