Rap2A Is Upregulated in Invasive Cells Dissected from Follicular Thyroid Cancer

Figure 2

An example of laser-capture micro-dissection in follicular thyroid carcinoma. (a) FTC tissue before (left) and after collecting the groups of cells from the main tumor mass (inset 1) and angioinvasive area (inset 2). Original magnification, 200x. (b) Histogram, relative expression of PCSK2, PLAB, RAP2A in the cells collected from matched noninvasive and invasive areas of the same specimens ( ). Mean of normalized expression levels of aRNA in each group is shown. Bar, SEM. * .
