Fig 1. Expression of PAR4 and TFF2 in colorectal cancer tissues.

Fig 1

(A) The matched normal (normal) and cancerous (cancer) tissues from each patients selected randomly were analyzed by RT-PCR using PAR4- and GAPDH- specific primers (n = 4). After the samples were normalized to GAPDH levels, mRNA levels of PAR4 and TFF2 were significantly increased in cancer compared to the normal tissues; (B) Western blot of tissue lysates from four cases of colorectal cancer (cancer) and relevant adjacent non-neoplastic mucosa (normal). The expression of actin was served as a control. The significant up-regulation expression of PAR4 was observed in the cancerous tissues in contrast to their matched normal tissues (n = 4).
