ESC traits in yHCCs. (A) Relationships between ESC, HCCs of different ages, and non-tumor tissues. Average linkage distances between tissues and ESC were calculated using the filtered 309 probe sets. The confidence limits as shown represent the standard error. YT and T: cancerous HCC samples from young and elderly patients, respectively. YN and N: non-tumor samples. (B) A heat map showing shared genes between yHCC and ESC. (C) Validation of ILF3 array data by real-time RT-PCR. The mean expression levels of the target genes were compared to the GAPDH control. **: p < 0.01 by t-test.
