Expression of TGF-β and Smad4 mRNA and protein in RCC tissues, adjacent normal tissues and normal renal tissues. Notes: A. The expression of TGF-β and Smad4 mRNA in RCC tissues, adjacent normal tissues and normal renal tissues using qRT-PCR; B. The protein expression of TGF-β and Smad4 in RCC tissues, adjacent normal tissues and normal renal tissues using western blotting; C. Grey value of target proteins of Smad4; D. Grey value of target proteins of TGF-β; *Refers to compare with the Normal group, P<0.05; #Refers to compare with the Paracarcinoma tissue group, P<0.05; RCC, renal cell carcinoma; qRT-PCR, quantitative real-time polymerace chain reaction; TGF-β, transforming growth factor-β; Smad, solvated metal atom dispersed.
