Figure 4

Collective upregulation of C/EBP target genes by cadmium (Cd) treatment. Heat map of genes in the ‘C/EBP targets’ gene set. The color spectrum from blue to red indicates low to high expression (a). Enrichment plot of the ‘C/EBP targets’ gene set. Genes within the green box in a are leading candidates for building enrichment scores in Cd-treated cells (Cd) (b). The results of real-time PCR for several genes included in the green box in a to measure the relative differences in their expression levels between Con and Cd. *P<0.05; **P<0.01 (c). Real-time PCR analyses to evaluate expression levels of C/EBP family members in cells treated with Cd (d). Cd and Con indicate cells cultured with and without Cd, respectively.
