Effects of RORα overexpression on NCEH1 expression. Transient overexpression of RORα was performed in HepG2 cells by transfecting cells with empty vector (pSG5) or with RORα expression vector (pRORα) for 48 h. RORα (a), NCEH1 (b), and BMAL1 (c) gene expression levels were evaluated. The expression levels of RORα-target genes induced by pRORα are presented as the fold-change relative to those with pSG5. Data are means ± standard errors (n = 4). *, p < 0.05
