Figure Lengend Snippet: Expression pattern of ING3 in HCC samples and cell lines. (A) The transcript level of ING3 was measured in 49 paired HCC and adjacent non-cancerous livers by quantitative RT-PCR, where GAPDH was used as an internal reference. The line within each box is the median -ΔCt value; the upper and lower edges of each box show the 75th and 25th percentile, respectively. The upper and lower bars are the highest and lowest values. P-value was calculated by paired sample t-test (p<0.001). (B) Representative semi-quantitative RT-PCR of ING3 of 3 pairs of HCC samples. C, cancer tissue; N, adjacent noncancerous liver. (C) Relative mRNA level of ING3 was evaluated in HCC cell lines and fetal liver by semiquantitative RT-PCR. HCC, hepatocellular carcinoma; ING3, inhibitor of growth 3; RT-PCR, reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction.
Article Snippet: The slides were incubated overnight at 4°C with rabbit anti-ING3 polyclonal antibody (1:200 dilution), followed by incubation with a horseradish peroxidase-conjugated anti-rabbit secondary antibody (Dako Japan Ltd., Kyoto, Japan) at 37°C for 30 min. Normal rabbit IgG was used as a negative control.
