Expression of FXR in esophageal cancer cells and tissue specimens. (a) Tissue samples from 59 esophageal adenocarcinoma patients were immunostained for FXR and hybridized in situ for RAR-β2 expression. The association of the expression of FXR with RAR-β2 was determined by the McNemar test. (b) Expression of FXR mRNA and protein in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma TE-3 and Te-12 cells and adenocarcinoma SKGT-4 and SKGT-5 cells using semi-quantitative RT-PCR and Western blot, respectively.
