Fig. 3From: The role of DNMT1/hsa-miR-124-3p/BCAT1 pathway in regulating growth and invasion of esophageal squamous cell carcinomaThe expression of BCAT1 in ESCC tissues and cells. The mRNA expression of BCAT1 in normal tissues and ESCC tissues (a) and its expression in HEEC, KYSE-150 and Eca109 cells (b) were determined by qRT-PCR analysis. c The protein expression of BCAT1 in normal tissues and ESCC tissues was determined by immunohistochemistry staining analysis. d The Kaplan-Meier survival curve of ESCC patients with different levels of BCAT1 expression. e The correlation between hsa-miR-124-3p and BCAT1 gene expression in ESCC tissues was assessed by qRT-PCR (n = 50; p < 0.0001). The experiments were performed in triplicate and each value represents mean ± SD. *p < 0.05, ***p < 0.001Back to article page
