Transient and etiology-related transcription regulation in cirrhosis prior to hepatocellular carcinoma occurrence

Figure 1 Clustering of cirrhosis from comparisons of transcript levels vs Cls. Every transcript level expressed as a [level per patient/median level in CLs] was measured by microarray. The samples are shown as a dendrogram on top and the transcripts are listed vertically. Bottom scale bar (log2 scale): decreased (green), increased (red) or unchanged (black) transcript level. A: UHC was made in 14 HCC-free cirrhosis samples and 8 CLs, from 30 transcript levels first identified as cirrhosis markers in an HCC-free context. B: UHC was made with 20 peritumoral cirrhosis samples and 8 CLs, from 3 transcript levels identified as cirrhosis markers in an HCC context.
