PN expressions in Cfs, CCA cell lines and CCA tissues. PN expression in Cfs measured by real time RT-PCR (A) and western blot analysis (B) using different biological preparations of Cfs and Lfs from those used in microarray. The expression of PN in CCA cell lines and fibroblasts extracted from CCA tissues is graphically depicted (C). Results are expressed as mean ± SD of three independent experiments. Means of PN mRNA expression levels were measured in 20 CCA cases and compared to 5 cases of benign liver diseases using both β-actin and gapdh as internal controls (D). The positive correlation of mRNA and protein levels of PN in CCA tissues is shown with statistical significance by Spearman correlation analysis (E).
