Up-regulation of CTSB, Shh and Ptch in metastatic lung SCC. (A) Detailed information of the patients with metastatic lung SCC. (B) The mRNA expression level of CTSB, Shh and Ptch in metastatic lung SCC was significantly higher compared with non-metastatic lung SCC and adjacent normal tissues (p < 0.05). (C &D) The protein expression level of CTSB, Shh and Ptch in metastatic lung SCC was significantly higher compared with non-metastatic lung SCC and adjacent normal tissues. β-actin was used as a loading control (P<0.05).
