TET2 expression during tumorigenesis in 4NQO-induced HNSCC animal model. Immunohistochemical staining of TET2 in samples from diverse stages in 4NQO-induced animal model. Images in the upper panel (A,C,E,G) are representative staining of TET2 in normal, epithelial with hyperplasia, epithelial with severe dysplasia/carcinoma in situ and squamous cell carcinoma, respectively. Images in the lower panel (B,D,F,H) are magnified from the black box area in the A, C, E, G images in the upper panel, respectively. The number of animals in each stage during 4NQO-induced HNSCC model was 10. Scale bar: 100 µm. TET2, tet methylcytosine dioxygenase 2; 4NQO, 4-nitroquinoline-1-oxide; HNSCC, head neck squamous cell carcinoma.
