Immunohistochemical staining results obtained for Sec24C. a Representative staining pictures for Sec24C in diverticular disease tissues (DI and DH), adenoma low grade (ADN LG)/high grade (ADN HG) and adenocarcinoma (ADK) tissues (scale bar 100 µm). b Quantification summary for Sec24C. The relative percentage calculated over all the categories of signal (from “none” to “gradation”) are detailed in the table. The highest value obtained is underlined in colour in each patient group represented by histograms and significant differences were obtained between DH versus pT1N0M0, DH versus pT2N0M0, ADN low grade versus pT1 (p < 0.05), ADN low grade versus pT2 (p < 0.001), pT1 versus pT3 (p < 0.01), pT1 versus pT4 (p < 0.05), pT2 versus pT3 (p < 0.001), pT2 versus pT3 (p < 0.001), DI versus pT2 (p < 0.05) DH diverticulitis (adjacent normal tissue), DI diverticulitis inflammatory (diverticulitis zone itself), ADK adenocarcinome, ADN LG adenoma low grade, ADN HG adenoma high grade
