Table 5. Correlation between SHARP1 and HIF-1α expression levels in EC.
HIF-1α staining | ||||
SHARP1 staining | Negative | Positive | Total | Positive ratea |
Negative | 1 (1.0%) | 8 (7.7%) | 9 (8.7%) | 88.9% |
Weak | 11 (10.6%) | 53 (51.0%) | 64 (61.5%) | 82.8% |
Strong | 15 (14.4%) | 16 (15.4%) | 31 (29.8%) | 51.6% |
Total | 27 (26.0%) | 77 (74.0%) | 104 (100%) | 74.0% |
There was a significant difference among HIF-1α positive rate of SHARP1 negative staining EC, SHARP1 weak staining EC and SHARP1 strong staining EC (P = 0.003).
