Cell-type specificity of β-actin expression and its clinicopathological correlation in gastric adenocarcinoma

Figure 3 Correlation of β-actin expression with tumor grade. A: “Total IHC scores” of β-actin immunostaining in inflammatory cells were correlated with tumor grade; B: β-actin expression between gastric cancer cell lines AGS and KATO III was analyzed using western blotting (right panel). Blot intensities were normalized with the intensity of total protein lysate of respective lanes and obtained values from three independent experiments were plotted (left panel); C: “Total IHC scores” of β-actin immunostaining in epithelial cells were correlated with tumor grade. ¹Mann-Whitney test; ²Kruskal-Wallis test.
