Expression of AQP1, AQP4 and AQP9 in patients with low- and high-grade astrocytomas
Parameter (IU ml–1) | Tumoral solid part | ||
Low-grade (N = 15) | High-grade (N = 25) | p | |
AQP4 | 0.074 ± 0.008 | 0.095 ± 0.015 | 0.000* |
AQP9 | 0.699 ± 0.01 (×10−3) | 1.04 ± 0.02 (×10−3) | 0.753 |
AQP1 | – | – | – |
AQP, aquaporin. * indicates statistical significance.
“–” indicates nil mRNA expression on PCR.
