a Heat map of whole-gene transcriptomic changes detected by RNA-seq in HepG2 cells that knockdown H2A.Z expression(Software: R pheatmap, R package). b Volcanogram of changes at the whole-gene transcriptomic level in HepG2 cells that knockdown H2A.Z expression(Software: ggplot2, R package). cf Enrichment of pathway in GSEA analysis of genes altered as described above (Software: GESA). g Venn diagram depicting the overlapping variation genes in RNA-seq and Chip-seq of H2A.Z(Software: Venn Diagram, R package). h KEGG pathway analysis was used to analyze the combined analysis results showed that H2A.Z might be associated with transcriptional misregulation in cancer signaling pathway in HCC cells (Software: ggplot2, R package). i IGV diagram of the downstream target gene of H2A.Z in the combined analysis data. j, k Changes in the expression of target genes upon H2A.Z were knockdown in HCC cells detected by qPCR and western blot. l Immunohistochemical analysis of target proteins in tumors in nude mice from different groups(Scale bars: 20 μm). The data are expressed in terms of mean ± SD (Student’s t-test used in Fig k; **P < 0.01; ***P < 0.001. ****P < 0.0001; n = 3 in each group).
