Fig. 5From: Identification of prothymosin alpha (PTMA) as a biomarker for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) by label-free quantitative proteomics and Quantitative Dot Blot (QDB)The differentially expressed proteins were validated by Western Blot. Compared with adjacent normal tissues, the protein expression of PTMA, PAK2, PPP1CA, HMGB2 were up-regulated (a, b), and the protein expression of Caveolin, Integrin beta-1, Collagen alpha-2(VI), Leiomodin-1, Vinculin were down-regulated in ESCC tissues from four pairs of samples (c, d). Representative immunoblot images (a, c) and histograms (mean ± SD; b, d).The experiments were repeated at least three times, N represented normal tissues and T represented tumor tissuesBack to article page
