α-fetoprotein, vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-1 and early recurrence of hepatoma

Figure 2 Expression of vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-1 mRNA in peripheral blood detected by real-time quantitative real-time quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction. The mean VEGFR-1/GAPDH mRNA ratio in the peripheral blood (PH-VEGFR-1 mRNA) of normal controls was 2.4944 × 10^-3 (range: 1.0730 × 10^-3-4.6958 × 10^-3). The mean PH-VEGFR-1 mRNA level in HCC patients was 9.1285 × 10^-3 (range: 1.2774 × 10^-3-174.4928 × 10^-3). HCC: Hepatocellular carcinoma; VEGFR: Vascular endothelial growth factor receptor; PH: Peripheral blood; GAPDH: Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase.
