FIGURE 3.
Significant association between GSTA4 mRNA expression and DNA methylation. (A) mRNA expression levels in the IA group were higher than that in controls. (B) mRNA expression levels in women IAs were higher than that in women controls. (C) No statistical significance was observed between men IAs and men controls. (D) GSTA4 mRNA expression was correlated with its DNA methylation levels in all participants. (E) DNA hypomethylation induced by AZA increased the mRNA expression of the GSTA4 gene in HBVSMCs. (F,G) GSTA4 methylation levels in between smoker and non-smoker group. (H) GSTA4 mRNA expression between smoker and non-smoker groups.
