Expression analysis of the selected genes with respect to the control. Results of gene expression analyses via RT-qPCR showed that the lectin-loaded chitosan-TPP nanoparticles caused statistically significant upregulated expression of Bax, Caspase 3, and p53, while genes showed downregulated expression of Bcl2, AFP, and GPC-3.
