PIM2 expression is positively correlated with pThr473-HK2 in human breast cancer. a, c Representative histopathologic sections of human breast normal and cancer tissues were stained with PIM2 or pThr473-HK2 antibodies. Scale bars, 50 μm. b, d Semi-quantitative immunohistochemical analysis of human breast normal and cancer tissues for PIM2 or pThr473-HK2. The experiments were tested with paired t-test, ***p < 0.001. e Pearson correlative analysis of semi-quantitative staining scores for PIM2 and pThr473-HK2. The standard curve was drawn by linear regression of the correlation scores. Correlation is shown using r and significance was determined using a Spearman correlation, ***p < 0.001
