Analysis of TAZ protein expression in the PC tissues, serum and pancreatic juice of PC patients. (A) PC tissues and their matched peritumoral tissues were collected from patients with PC and the expression of TAZ protein was assessed by western blot analysis. β-actin expression was measured as an internal control. (B) The relative protein expression was calculated. (C) Serum and (D) pancreatic juice samples from PC and control patients were collected and the expression of TAZ protein in the samples was measured by ELISA. *P<0.05 and **P<0.01 by one-way analysis of variance vs. controls. TAZ, transcriptional coactivator with PDZ-binding motif; PC, pancreatic cancer.
