Table 2. Expression of NALP-1 in normal colon mucosa and cancer tissues.
Tissue sample | Expression of NALP-1 | P (χ2 test) | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
N | − | ± | + | ++ | ||
Normal mucosa | 50 | 14 | 16 | 16 | 4 | <0.001* |
Colon cancer | 50 | 33 | 14 | 3 | 0 |
P-value is based on χ2 test
NALP1 expression of clinical tissue samples was scored as follows: no intense pattern, negative (−); <10% immunoreactivity, weak (±); 10–50% immunoreactivity, moderate (+); and >50% immunoreactivity, strong (++)
*Significant difference
