expression in different grades of human glioma and human glioma cells. (a) Immunofluorescence labeling of P2X7R (green) in different grades of human glioma showed that P2X7R positive cells were rarely seen in normal brain tissue. As the glioma becomes more advanced, the percentage of P2X7 positive cells dramatically increased, especially in grade III and grade IV glioma. Scale bar = 50 μm. (b) Bar charts showing the percentage of P2X7R positive cells in normal and different grades of glioma tissue ( for each group). versus Ctr. Data analyzed by ANOVA test. (c) Immunofluorescence labeling showing P2X7R protein expression in U87 cells and U251 cells. Scale bar = 20 μm.
