Up-regulated gene expression of SGCE, PEG10 and DYNC1I1 in HCC. Real-time quantitative RT-PCR was performed in 32 pairs of HCC and corresponding nontumorous liver tissues. Significant up-regulation of mRNA expression level in HCC was observed in SGCE and PEG10 genes (p < 0.05 after Bonferroni correction), and DYNC1I1 was considered as a nominal gene differently expressed in HCC with p value of 0.09 after Bonferroni correction. Blue bars represented expression level of HCC tumorous tissues, red bars represented nontumorous liver tissues, and horizontal bars represented SD values.
