mRNA and protein expression levels of TRIM37 are increased in CRC cells relative to normal cells. (A) The mRNA expression level of TRIM37 in 30 paired CRC samples and adjacent normal tissues was detected by reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction. The TRIM37 expression was normalized to β-actin. *P<0.001. (B) Representative immunohistochemical images of TRIM37 in matched CRC tissues (lower panel) and adjacent non-cancerous tissues (upper panel). Magnification, ×200. (C) Western blot analysis was used to examine the protein expression level of TRIM37 in CRC samples and paired adjacent normal tissues. CRC, colorectal cancer; TRIM37, tripartite motif containing 37; T, CRC tissues; N, non-cancerous adjacent tissues.
