Real-time qPCR and Western blot analyses of the levels of PRMT5 and LILRB4 in 30 patients with AML-M5. The mRNA levels of (a) PRMT5 and (b) LILRB4 were detected by real-time qPCR in normal subjects, newly diagnosed patients, and recurrent ones. (c) Western blot analysis was performed to detect the protein abundances of PRMT5 and LILRB4 (normal persons, ; newly diagnosed cases, ; and recurrent cases, ). β-Actin was used as the internal control. Western blot and subsequent grayscale analysis revealed that the expression of (d) PRMT5 and (e) LILRB4 was higher in the relapse group than that in the newly diagnosed group. (f) The analysis of correlation coefficient indicated that the expression of PRMT5 was positively correlated with that of LILRB4 (, ). Each value was presented as . All the experiments were repeated in triplicates. The data are expressed by (; ). The 2-Δ CT method was used for quantitative presentation of relative mRNA levels. The error bar represents ±SD (; ; ; ).
