IL-8 and integrin αvβ3 were overexpressed in highly metastatic HCC cell lines (HCCLM3 and MHCC97H) compared with low metastatic cell lines (Huh-7 and HepG2). a Western blot analysis of IL-8, integrin αv and β3 protein in the indicated cells. b Real-time PCR analysis of IL-8 expression in the indicated cells. c Real-time PCR analysis of integrin αv expression in the indicated cells. d Real-time PCR analysis of integrin β3 expression in the indicated cells. Results are expressed as the mean ± SEM. *P < 0.05
