(a) Correlation of OPN mRNA overexpression with SOX2 mRNA overexpression in CRC patients. (b) Correlation of OPN protein expression with SOX2 protein expression in CRC tissues of 11 patients. (c) Representative images showing correlation of OPN and SOX2 protein expression in CRC tissues (621T: OPN high/SOX2 high; 767T: OPN low/SOX2 low). Negative/weak staining of OPN and SOX2 were detected in most adjacent normal tissues (N).
