Table 1. Protein expression of E-cadherin and EZH2 in pancreatic cancer tissues and adjacent normal tissues.
Tissue sample | No. of patients | E-cadherin | P-value | EZH2 | P-value | ||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Low (%) | High (%) | Low (%) | High (%) | ||||
Tumor | 84 | 31(36.9) | 53(63.1) | 0.001* | 42(50.0) | 42(50.0) | <0.001* |
Non-cancerous tissues | 84 | 12(14.3) | 72(85.7) | 77(91.7) | 7(8.3) |
EZH2 and E-cadherin expression were measured in tumor and non-cancerous tissues. EZH2 was higher in tumor tissues whereas E-cadherin was higher in non-cancerous tissues. Data were analyzed using the Chi-squared test.
P < 0.05 indicates statistical significance.
