Western blot showing the abnormal expression of MCU, HIF-1α, VEGF and E-cadherin proteins in gastric cancer tissues. (A) Representative images of Western blots of MCU, HIF-1α, VEGF and E-cadherin proteins in eight pairs of gastric cancer tissues and adjacent normal tissues. MCU (B), HIF-1α (C) and VEGF (D) proteins were significantly highly expressed in gastric cancer tissues. (E) E-cadherin protein was significantly lowly expressed in gastric cancer tissues. Correlation analysis between MCU and (F) HIF-1α (r=0.7709; p<0.0001), (G) VEGF (r=0.5833; p<0.0001) and (H) E-cadherin (r=−0.7860; p<0.0001) in gastric cancer. ****p<0.0001.
