The Dysregulation of Polyamine Metabolism in Colorectal Cancer Is Associated with Overexpression of c-Myc and C/EBPβ rather than Enterotoxigenic Bacteroides fragilis Infection

Figure 2

Results of the qPCR expression analysis of genes involved in polyamine metabolism and inflammation regulation in paired colorectal cancer samples. Cell color indicates expression level change in tumor compared to normal: increase (orange) and decrease (blue). Genes are rearranged according to the similarity of expression profiles. Samples with a high concentration of enterotoxigenic B. fragilis DNA (>1000 copies per 1 ng of total DNA) are marked with an asterisk.
