a
As long as the sample contained cells with the dishevelled binding antagonist of beta catenin 1 (DACT1) cytoplasmic staining, the staining was regarded as weak if mean density was <0.025, strong if it was between ≥0.025 and <0.04, and very strong if it was ≥0.04.
b
As long as the sample contained cells with β-catenin cytoplasmic and/or membrane staining, the total expression level was regarded as weak if mean density was <0.01, strong if it was between ≥0.01 and <0.03, and very strong if it was ≥0.03. The nonparametric Spearman's rank correlation test was used for correlation analysis.
