TMPRSS4 expression in NSCLC tissue specimens and lung cancer cell lines. (A) Quantitative RT-PCR was performed on 49 lung tumors and 16 normal donor tissues. For each sample, qPCR was performed in duplicate, and the average values plotted relative to 18S rRNA. One-way ANOVA analysis of variance was used with Kruskal-Wallis test for all four groups (adeno-, squamous, large cell carcinomas, and normal) (p=0.0006) followed by Dunn’s multiple comparison test with 99% confident intervals for normal vs adenocarcinomas (***), and normal vs squamous cell carcinomas (**). Bars represent the mean value for each group. **p<0.01; ***p<0.001. (B) qPCR was performed on lung cancer cell lines. Total RNA was isolated from 16 lung cancer cell lines. qPCR was performed, and the average values from duplicate samples were normalized against 18S rRNA. The average relative copies of TMPRSS4 are plotted.
