Figure 6From: Divergent effects of muscarinic receptor subtype gene ablation on murine colon tumorigenesis reveals association of M3R and zinc finger protein 277 expression in colon neoplasiaM3R and ZNF277 gene and protein expression in human colon cancer compared to adjacent normal colon. A: CHRM3 and ZNF277 mRNA levels in 12 sets of colon cancer and adjacent normal colon obtained from the same patients. mRNA levels were first normalized to expression of β2-microglobulin and then ranked by increasing levels of CHRM3 expression. B: Representative images show immunohistochemical staining with anti-ZNF277 and anti-M3R antibodies on human colon cancer and adjacent normal colon epithelial tissue. Size bars = 100 micrometers. C: Graph shows quantification of ZNF277 and M3R staining in cancer compared to normal colon. Data shown represent mean ± S.E. of 23 sets of colon cancer and adjacent normal colon tissues.Back to article page
