Figure 5From: Divergent effects of muscarinic receptor subtype gene ablation on murine colon tumorigenesis reveals association of M3R and zinc finger protein 277 expression in colon neoplasiaExpression levels of murine genes quantified by qPCR in tumor and normal colon tissue, and Zfp277 protein expression in tumor sections from WT, Chrm3-/-, Chrm1-/-and dual KO mice. A: Colon tumors. N = 3 mice/genotype. B: Normal colon. N = 3 mice/genotype. Shown is the fold difference in gene expression normalized to glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (Gapdh) levels in tissue from Chrm3-/-, Chrm1-/- and dual KO mice relative to that in tissue from WT mice. Error bars, S.E. (* indicates P < 0.05). C: Representative images show immunohistochemical staining with anti-Zfp277 antibody on tumor sections from WT, Chrm3-/-, Chrm1-/- and dual KO mice. Graph shows quantification of Zfp277 staining in tumor sections. Data shown represent mean ± S.E. from four mice per genotype (* indicates P < 0.05). Size bars = 100 micrometers.Back to article page
