Expression level of 4-HNE in ESCC tissues with a variety of inflammation severities. (A) The expression level of 4-HNE in (a) normal esophageal epithelial is negative and (b) the expression of carcinoma in situ tissues with inflammation is positive for 4-HNE. (c) In the same tissue, the expression level of 4-HNE is higher in epithelial tissues with inflammation compared with that of normal epithelial tissues. (B) Expression level of 4-HNE in ESCC tissues with a variety of inflammation severity. (a) Tissues with severe inflammation demonstrated a high expression level of 4-HNE, and (b) low 4-HNE expression level and (c) negative 4-HNE staining was identified in tissues with no inflammation. (C) The IHC score of 4-HNE was determined in ESCC tissue subgroups with a variety of inflammation severity. The IHC score of 4-HNE in severe inflammation is significantly higher compared with normal tissues. IHC staining scale bar, 50 µm. *P<0.05.
