Figure 1. Expression levels of both TRIM24 protein and mRNA were significantly lower in ESCC tissues than in the matched adjacent non-cancerous tissues (NCET) of the same patients. (A) Comparison of the relative expression levels of TRIM24 mRNA in 42 pairs of ESCC and NCET samples, which were examined by RT-PCR (mean ± SD, Paired t test, P< 0.001). (B) Comparison of the expression levels of TRIM24 protein in 19 pairs of ESCCs and the matched NCETs, which were detected by Western blot. (C) Protein levels of TRIM24 in eight representative ESCC tissues (T) and paired adjacent NCET (N) were analyzed by Western blotting.
