Differential levels of ECM in fimbriae of benign vs STIC patients. (A)
Representative multispectral staining for DNA (DAPI), P53, and ECM
components: type I collagen (Coll I, red), type III collagen (Coll III,
green), type IV collagen (Coll IV, blue), and pan-laminin (Lam, magenta)
from a benign sample and non-STIC and STIC region from an STIC patient.
(B) Representative multispectral staining for DNA (DAPI), P53, and ECM
components: FN (red), HA (green), HSPG2 (blue), and VCAN (magenta) from
a benign sample and non-STIC and STIC region from an STIC patient. Scale
bar = 100 µm. Abbreviations: ECM, extracellular matrix; STIC, serous
intraepithelial carcinoma; FN, fibronectin; HA, hyaluronan; HSPG2,
perlecan; VCAN, versican; DAPI, 4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole.
