Pontin Acts as a Potential Biomarker for Poor Clinical Outcome and Promotes Tumor Invasion in Hilar Cholangiocarcinoma

<div>Pontin protein expression in HC tissues and bioinformatics analysis of the Pontin mRNA levels from the GEO database. (a) Western blot analyses of 4 representative pairs of HC tissues (T) and adjacent normal bile duct tissues (N). <i>β</i>-actin was used as a loading control. (b) GEO data indicated significantly higher Pontin mRNA expression in cholangiocarcinoma tissues than in nontumor-surrounding liver tissues.</div>
