Increased expression of 14-3-3β in primary HCC tumors, PVTTs and HCC cell lines.

<p>(<b>A)</b> Real-time PCR and <b>(B)</b> western blot analysis of mRNA and protein levels of 14-3-3β in primary tumors (T), matched adjacent nontumorous liver tissues (N) and PVTTs (P) in HCC patients. (<b>C)</b> Western blot analysis of 14-3-3β expression in several HCC cell lines. β-actin was used as the internal control for all analysis. *<i>p</i><0.05; **<i>p</i><0.01.
