Figure Lengend Snippet: Messenger RNA expression of glycolysis and pentose phosphate pathway (PPP)–related genes in N1S1 tumors, McA-RH7777 tumors, and normal liver. Glycolysis-related key enzymes include GLUT1, HK2, PFKFB3, PFK1, LDHA, and PKM. PPP-related key enzymes include G6PD, TALDO1, PGLS, PGD, RPIA, and TKT. Densitometry qualification of band intensity is presented as a percentage of relative densitometry normalized to the CYPA gene. Blue arrow, target protein. P values represent results from Mann–Whitney test, performed only after a significant difference across the three groups was found with a Kruskal–Wallis test. Error bars represent SD. C_NL = normal liver from control rats, M_T = tumor from McA-RH7777 rats, N_T = tumor from N1S1 rats.
Article Snippet: Cell Lines Rat HCC cell lines N1S1 (CRL-1604, male) and McA-RH7777 (CRL-1601, male) were obtained from the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC).
