TABLE 1.
Pin1 expression in benign prostate and primary and metastatic prostate cancera
Pin1 expression staining result | No. of samples of:
|
||
---|---|---|---|
Benign prostate | Primary PCa | Metastatic PCa | |
Negative | 16 | 10 | 0 |
Weak | 9 | 14 | 5 |
Moderate | 0 | 6 | 10 |
Strong | 0 | 0 | 14 |
Total no. of samples | 25 | 30 | 29 |
Differences between Pin1 expression in the benign versus primary PCa and in primary versus metastatic PCa were significant (exact two-sided; P = 0.008 and P < 0.0001, respectively) using Kruskall-Wallis tests.
