Figure 3. Guanylin mRNA expression in matched normal adjacent tissues (NAT) and tumors resected from different anatomical segments.

Figure 3

Tissues were obtained and processed, mRNA extracted, and guanylin mRNA quantified by RT-PCR analysis as described. For each anatomical segment, the change in guanylin mRNA expression in tumors is compared to their matched NATs, where red lines connect NATs with adjacent tumor specimens with decreased guanylin mRNA expression while black lines connect NATs with adjacent tumor specimens with increased guanylin mRNA expression. Similarly, the distribution of guanylin mRNA expression in matched NAT and tumor specimens is plotted for each anatomical segment.
