RIZ1 expression was downregulated in cervical cancer tissues compared with the adjacent non-tumor tissues. (A) Representative photomicrographs of RIZ1 immunohistochemical staining. Panel 1, positive RIZ1 expression in cervical squamous cell carcinoma; panel 2, positive RIZ1 expression in cervical cervical adenocarcinoma; panel 3, positive RIZ1 expression in normal cervical tissue; panel 4, negative RIZ1 expression in cervical squamous cell carcinoma; panel 5, negative RIZ1 expression in cervical cervical adenocarcinoma; panel 6, negative RIZ1 expression in normal cervical tissue. Original magnification, ×200. (B) Total proteins from four pairs of cervical cancer tissues (T) and the adjacent non-tumor tissues (N) were extracted for immunoblotting of RIZ1 with β-actin as a loading control. (C) Relative expression RIZ1 to β-actin was quantitated by ImageJ. (D) Cervical cancer tissues (T) and the adjacent non-tumor tissues (N) were extracted for quantitative real-time RT-PCR analysis of RIZ1 mRNA with β-actin as an internal control.
