Increased HERV-K (HML-2) expression in HCC tissues and the association with clinical parameters of HCC patients. The value of relative expression was detected by the value of −log of . (a) HERV-K (HML-2) expression level in tumor tissues was significantly higher than in nontumor tissues, . (b) Differentiation: a: high/moderate; b: low; TNM stage: a: I-II; b: III-IV; Cirrhosis: negative/positive. Results are expressed as mean ± SD. All data were analyzed using Student’s -test. and .
