Figure 4.
APELA is co-expressed with the stem cell marker Nestin at the mRNA level in GBM tumor tissue. Slides were prepared from normal brain (NB) and GBM tumor tissue, subjected to RNA-ISH using the RNAscope technology and images analyzed by confocal microscopy. RNA-ISH was performed with individual gene probes for APELA (green), and Nestin (magenta). Nuclei were DAPI counterstained (blue). Colocalization of APELA and Nestin expression in a cluster of individual cells is evident in the merged image (20× tile-scan magnification) and the 4× magnification of the merged image.
