Further results of western blotting and RT-qPCR exhibited in (Figure 1(b-c)) revealed that RECQL4 expression was elevated in the HCC cell lines (Hep10, HuH-7, SNU-387 and Li-7) when compared to the human immortalized liver cell line MIHA, and the highest RECQL4 level was found in HuH-7 cells. Here, RECQL4 is linked to hepatocellular carcinoma.
