A hepatoprotective Lindera obtusiloba extract suppresses growth and attenuates insulin like growth factor-1 receptor signaling and NF-kappaB activity in human liver cancer cell lines

Table 2 Expression of PPARγ, COX-2 and iNOS in human HCC cell lines

Cell lysates of HCC cell lines as described for Table 1, were subjected to specific western-blots for PPARγ, COX 2 and iNOS and for β actin as equal loading control. Densitometry of specific band intensity was normalized to β-actin expression. Mean values ± SD from three independent experiments. PPARγ, COX-2 and iNOS protein expression levels were calculated in relation to the respective untreated cells. Mean values ± SD from three independent experiments. *P < 0.05 compared to the untreated control, ^# P < 0.05 compared to IGF-1-treated cells, n.d. - not detected
