Figure 6. Palladin Expression in Primary Cultures of Pancreatic Ductal Cells Derived from Increasingly Neoplastic Samples.

Figure 6

Expression of Palladin RNA increases relative to the degree of precancer to cancer: normal to PanIN 1 (hyperplasia) to PanIN 3 (carcinoma in situ) to cancer. Each bar represents epithelial cell cultures from one person. The PanIN 1 and PanIN 3 lesions (lower left photomicrograph) were purified from two affected members of Family X. The pancreatic cancer epithelial cells (lower right photomicrograph) were purified from a sample of sporadic adenocarcinoma.
