Figure 1.

PICART1 expression was decreased in the NSCLC samples. A. The expression of PICART1 in NSCLC tissues and paired adjacent non-cancerous tissues was detected by qRT-PCR. B. The expression level of PICART1 was lower in the NSCLC tissues compared to paired adjacent non-cancerous tissues. C. The PICART1 expression level in the late-stage (III+IV) NSCLC patients was lower than in the early-stage (I+II) NSCLC patients. Statistically significant difference was determined using Student’s t test.
