FIGURE 1.
Elevated VEGFR2 expression in osteosarcoma lung metastasis. (A) VEGFR2 and PD-L2 expression in 18 pairs of primary osteosarcoma specimens and pulmonary metastasis specimens was investigated via immunohistochemistry. Representative images are presented (magnification at 200×). (B) IHC scores of VEGFR2 and PD-L2 were analyzed between the primary osteosarcoma group and the pulmonary metastasis group. (C) The correlation between PD-L2 and VEGFR2 expression levels in 18 osteosarcoma pulmonary metastases was investigated. (D) VEGFR2 was overexpressed in osteosarcoma in comparison to normal control. Data are shown as the mean ± S.D. *p < 0.05, **P < 0.01.
