Figure 4. Nuclear translocation of IRS-1 in Glioblastomas.

In a similar patter of expression, IRS-1 is detected by immunohistochemistry in the cytoplasm and nuclei of neoplastic cells in cases of Glioblastoma multiforme that are positive for JCV T-Antigen (upper panels). However, tumors that lack T-antigen demonstrate exclusive cytoplasmic IRS-1 (middle panels). Finally, IRS-1 can be translocated to the nucleus in the presence of Estrogen Receptor beta (lower panels). All panels original magnification 600x.
