MIER3 is down-regulated in paraffin-embedded clinical CRC tissues and is a prognostic factor for poor overall and disease-free survival in CRC patients. (Aa–c) Representative images of MIER3 expression in normal intestinal epithelium and CRC specimens as examined by IHC. Negative staining for MIER3 in a tumor tissue sample and high expression of MIER3 in its normal mucosal counterpart from the same patient were observed in one field (original magnification 200×) or two independent magnification fields (original magnification 400×). (d) Positive expression of MIER3 in colorectal tumor tissue samples (original magnification 400×). (e,f) High expression of MIER3 in normal intestinal epithelial cells and CRC cells (original magnification 400×), (B) Kaplan–Meier survival analysis of (above) overall and (below) disease-free survival duration in all patients according to MIER3 expression. The log-rank test was used to calculate p values.
