From: Overexpression of Sterol Carrier Protein 2 in Patients with Hereditary Cholesterol Gallstones
The mRNA levels of SCP2 in hereditary gallstone group, non-hereditary gallstone group and control group. SCP2 mRNA expression was assessed by semi quantitative RT-PCR and shown as fold change after normalized to β2-Microglobulin levels. SCP2 mRNA was expressed at higher levels in hereditary cholesterol gallstone patients than in non-hereditary cholesterol gallstone patients, P < 0.05. The mRNA expression of SCP2 in hereditary, and non-hereditary cholesterol gallstone patients were 0.8908 ± 0.1649, 0.7503 ± 0.1004 respectively, which were both higher than that in control group,0.5205 ± 0.1900, P < 0.05. The data was analyzed by one way analysis of variance, and F = 11.089, P < 0.05.
