Hepatitis B Virus X Protein-Induced RORγ Expression to Promote the Migration and Proliferation of Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Figure 2

The promoter methylation levels of RORγ were downregulated in liver tumors. (a) A total of 204 liver cancer patients were examined the ratio of promoter methylation levels of RORγ in liver (T) tumor tissues and (N) normal liver tissues. (b) A total of 49 patients with methylation level data in tumor and corresponding normal tissues were subjected to analysis, and the result is represented as a heatmap. (c, d) The correlation between promoter methylation levels and gene expression levels of RORγ was evaluated in both (c) liver tumor tissues and (d) normal liver tissues.
