Hepatitis B virus upregulates host expression of α-1,2-mannosidases via the PPARα pathway

Figure 2 α-1,2-mannosidase expression of hepatitis B virus-related and hepatitis B virus-unrelated hepatocellular carcinoma patient liver samples. A: Representative western blot illustrating the α-1,2-mannosidase protein expression in HBV-related and HBV-unrelated hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patient liver samples; B: Quantification of α-1,2-mannosidase from the band intensities normalized by ACTIN. Levels of α-1,2-mannosidase in non-tumorous liver tissues in the HBV-related HCC patients were higher than in the tissues from non-HBV-related HCC patients, ^aP < 0.05.
