Fig. 2. TMEM158 is related to glioma grade and is preferentially expressed in the core of glioma tissues.
A TMEM158 protein expression was detected in a tissue microarray (TMA) (nontumor, n = 2; WHO grade II, n = 12; WHO grade II, n = 12; WHO grade IV, n = 28). B Total IHC staining score of TMA was related to WHO glioma grades, and nontumor samples exhibited the lowest protein expression of TMEM158. C The intratumoral and peritumoral expression patterns of TMEM158. D–G Representative image of TMEM158 expression on nontumor, WHO II, WHO III, and WHO IV tumor samples. H–K Partial enlarged image of (D–G). L RT-PCR results show the expression of TMEM158 mRNA in different grades of gliomas. M Western blotting was used to determine expression of TMEM158 in 8 different glioma cell lines. N Expression of TMEM158 in glioma cell lines in the CCLE database. (nsp > 0.05, *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001, ****p < 0.0001).
