Figure 8

Expression of inflammation-related gene expression in the liver tissue using reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and western blotting. Glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) was used as a control. Results were similar in three independent experiments. Normal control (NC, phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) 200 µL), AE (AE 400 mg/kg), Con (PBS 200 µL + tumor cells), Cis (Cis 20 mg/kg + tumor cells), Cis + AEL (AE low dose 200 mg/kg + Cis 20 mg/kg + tumor cells), and Cis + AEH (AE high dose 400 mg/kg + Cis 20 mg/kg + tumor cells). ^a–dMeans with different superscript in the same row are different ().
