Evaluation of Serum Levels and Expression of Galectin-4 in Cervical Cancer

Figure 4

Galectin-4 expression in columnar cervical epithelium. (a, b) correspond to normal columnar epithelium and (c, d) to cervical adenocarcinoma. Galectin-4 was observed in columnar and stromal cells. In the columnar cells in nondiseased tissue, the expression was low, and its expression was increased in columnar cells in adenocarcinoma. In adenocarcinoma tissues, it was observed that the expression level of galectin-4 was increased in areas that had greater proliferation (arrow).
