Expression of Annexin-A1 and Galectin-1 Anti-Inflammatory Proteins and mRNA in Chronic Gastritis and Gastric Cancer

Figure 3

Endogenous galectin 1 (Gal-1) expression in the gastric mucosa. Immunoreactivity of Gal-1 in sections of gastric mucosa tissue by rabbit polyclonal anti-Gal-1. (a) Negative immunostaining in epithelium and modest positivity in stroma in normal mucosa. Immunopositivity in basal portion of epithelial in chronic gastritis (b) and, intense stromal-epithelial immunostaining in diffuse-type adenocarcinoma (c) and intestinal-type adenocarcinoma (d). Hematoxylin counterstain. Bar: 20 μm. (e) Densitometry analyses on the gastric mucosa tissues immunostained for Gal-1 in normal mucosa (C), chronic gastritis (CG), and gastric adenocarcinoma (GA) groups. Comparison between the C group and the CG (*) and GA (**) groups was made by the ANOVA test, with .
