Angiopoietin‐like protein 2 (ANGPTL2) expression correlates with glucose transporter 3 (GLUT3) expression in human lung cancer. A, Correlation between (upper) ANGPTL2 and GLUT1 (SLC2A1) or ANGPTL2 and GLUT3 (SLC2A3) or (lower) ZEB1 and ANGPTL2 or ZEB1 and GLUT3 (SLC2A3) expression in primary tumor tissues from lung cancer patients (n = 96). Relative transcript abundance was normalized to that of RPS18 mRNA. Spearman's correlation coefficient (r) was calculated as 0.0716 (upper left), 0.3536 (upper right), 0.5676 (lower left), and 0.6788 (lower right). B, Immunostaining for ANGPTL2 and GLUT3 in surgical specimens of primary tumors from 4 indicated patients with lung cancer. Scale bar = 100 μm
