SLIT2 is positively correlated with PANR in vivo. (a) Correlation between αSMA expression and SLIT2 level in pancreatic tumor samples from eight PDA-bearing mice. (b) Correlation between Slit2 score and the number of intratumoral nerves (It-tum nerve) in pancreatic tumor samples from 12 PDA-bearing mice. (c) Correlation between SLIT2 level and number of intratumoral nerves (It-tum nerve) in 15 human PDA xenograft samples. (d) Count of nerves positive for Ki67 staining in Schwann cells, using 10 mouse PDA samples with high (n=5) or low (n=5) SLIT2 level
