Overexpression of Testes-Specific Protease 50 (TSP50) Predicts Poor Prognosis in Patients with Gastric Cancer
Figure 1
Expression of TSP50 protein in gastric cancer tissues and adjacent nontumor mucosal tissues. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) staining revealed high expression (a, b) and low expression (c) of TSP50 protein in gastric cancers. (a) Scoring index = 16; (b) scoring index = 8; (c) scoring index = 3 (original magnification ×40). The right panel indicated the higher magnification (×400) from the area in (a), (b), and (c), respectively. (d) IHC staining showed low expression of TSP50 protein in adjacent nontumor mucosal tissues (scoring index = 2) (original magnification ×40). The right panel indicated the higher magnification (×400) from the area in (d). (e) Western blot analysis of TSP50 protein expression in gastric cancer tissues (T) and adjacent nontumor mucosal tissues (N). Equal loading of protein was determined by β-actin.
