Figure 7. ADAM17 is overexpressed in NSCLC. (A) IHC staining of ADAM17 in NSCLC and non-cancerous tissue. (B) qRT-PCR analysis of ADAM17 expression in NSCLC tissues and non-cancerous tissues (C) The expression levels of ADAM17 in patients with different stage. **P<0.01 compared with I-II stage. (D) The expression levels of ADAM17 in patients with or without metastasis. **P<0.01 compared with no metastasis. (E) Western blotting analysis of ADAM17 expression in human bronchial epithelial cell BEAS-2B and NSCLC cell lines (A549, H1650 and H1975). **P<0.01 compared with BEAS-2B. (F) High ADAM17 was a predictor for poor overall survival of NSCLC patients as analyzed using Kaplan-Meier plotter website.
