Syndecan-1 (SDC1) expression in breast cancer. SDC1 expression was analyzed using (A) real-time PCR and (B) immunofluorescence staining. Therefore, the cells were cultured in medium with 10% FCS and 1% penicillin/streptomycin. Syndecan-1 is displayed in green, the nucleus in blue. Correlation of SDC1 expression with (C) tumor stage and important (D) tumor markers were analyzed. N=3, magnification 400×, ERBB2—v-erb-b2 erythroblastic leukemia viral oncogene homolog 2, ER—estrogen receptor, MDA—MDA-MB-231, PR—progesterone receptor, and SDC1—syndecan-1.
