A Expression of CYP11A1, CYP11B1 and HSD11B1 was assessed in tissue sections of non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC, SCC = squamous cell carcinoma, AC = adenocarcinoma) and small cell lung carcinomas (SCLC, t.NET = typical neuroendocrine tumors) by RT-qPCR. Violin plots of n = 5–8 tumor samples are shown. B Immunohistochemistry analysis of 11-β hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase 1 (11-βHSD1) and 11-β hydroxylase (11-βOH) in tissue sections of squamous cell carcinoma (NSCLC) and typical neuroendocrine tumor (SCLC). H&E stainings and Rb IgG isotype controls are shown for comparison. Scale bar = 200 µm. Inlays show magnifications.
