Figure 1 Expression of hepcidin mRNA in hepatocellular carcinoma. Expression of hepcidin mRNA, extracted from paraffin-embedded sections, was suppressed in cancer tissue. The median t-values for non-cancer, and cancer tissues with hepcidin 1 and hepcidin 2 primers, were 0.124 (0.021-3.433), 0.067 (0.009-2.063), and 0.0825 (0.007-2.1), respectively. The t-values for cancer tissues were significantly higher than that for non-cancer tissues (P = 0.0057).
