Figure 3From: Autophagy and apoptosis-related genes in chronic liver disease and hepatocellular carcinoma Protein expression in HCC and the corresponding tissues surrounding HCC. Western blot analysis of: Beclin 1 (A); Bcl-2 (B); Bcl-xL (C); Bad (D); Bax (E). P: cirrhotic liver tissues surrounding hepatocellular carcinoma; HCC: tumoral tissues of 8/13 patients. Data are expressed as the optical density ratio of genes to β-actin. Values are reported as mean values ± SD.Back to article page
