ChREBP mRNA and protein levels positively correlate to colon malignancy. (A) Relative mRNA level of ChREBP normalized to 18s in 20 pairs of colon cancer tissue and adjacent normal tissue. (B) Relative mRNA level of ChREBP normalized to 18s in normal, early and late clinically staged colon cancer tissue. (C) ChREBP protein expression in normal, early and late clinically staged colon cancer tissues. Relative mRNA levels of FAS (D), ELOVL6 (E) and SCD1 (F) normalized to 18s in early and late clinically staged colon cancer tissue. (G) ChREBP immunohistochemistry in healthy and malignant colon sections. The strong ChREBP positive staining in malignant colon (b) compared with an mild staining in adjacent normal colon tissue (a) in the same patient; c, a negative immunohistochemical staining control, which was incubated with PBS instead of preliminary antibody; d, healthy colon tissue; e, clinical stages I and II colon cancer tissue; f, clinical stages III and IV colon cancer tissue. Photos were taken under the magnification of 200×. Scale bar = 30 μm. *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01; ***p < 0.001.
