Figure 2From: The HBx oncoprotein of hepatitis B virus potentiates cell transformation by inducing c-Myc-dependent expression of the RNA polymerase I transcription factor UBFExpression levels of UBF in the hepatic tumours of X15- myc transgenic mice. (A) Total RNA from the liver tissues of 1, 3 and 6 months old control and transgenic mice was isolated and subjected to RT- qPCR as described above. (B) Total cell lysate of liver tissues of 1, 3 and 6 months old control and transgenic mice were western blotted for UBF, HBx and GAPDH. Data are shown as mean ± S.D of three independent experiments. * represents a statistically significant difference of p <0.05.Back to article page
