Figure 3From: Down-regulation of the expression of CCAAT/enhancer binding protein α gene in cervical squamous cell carcinoma Expression level of C/EBPα mRNA in cervical tissues. (A) C/EBPα mRNA expression was significantly reduced in cervical cancer tissues than in normal cervical tissues, (P < 0.01) and marked by an asterisk. (B) The promoter of C/EBPα gene methylation rate in CpG 5, CpG-14.15, CpG-19.20 were significantly higher than in normal cervical tissues (P < 0.05, P < 0.01, P < 0.05, respectively).Back to article page
