Cytofluorimetric (FACS) analysis of peripheral blood derived cells, the percentage of positive cells is reported. (A) percentage of beta-3-adrenergic receptor (β3-AR) positive cells within of all peripheral blood (PB) cells (% β3-AR+ cells range: Non-metastatic (NM) 11–58%; metastatic (M) 25–75%); (B) percentage of CD99 positive cells on the surface of CD45− PB cells (% CD99+ cells range: NM 0–59%; M 8–43%); (C) percentage of β3-AR positive cells on CD45− CD99+ gated cells (% β3-AR+ cells range: NM 0–39%; M 5–80%); and (D) percentage of β3-AR positive cells on CD45− CD99+ gated cells analysed within the group of metastatic patients (% β3-AR+ cells range: Mhigh 37–80%; Mlow 5–23%). M low: M group with low β3-AR expression level, and M high: M group with high β3-AR expression level. PB from 20 patients: 10 M and 10 NM. ns: Not significant. p values for analysis ** p < 0.01.
