Figure 1 Immunohistochemical staining of DNA methyltransferases in gastric cancer. DNA methyltransferase (DNMT) 1 (A), DNMT3a (C), and DNMT3b (E) positive immunostaining in gastric carcinoma cells. Negative expression of DNMT1 (B), DNMT3a (D), and DNMT3b (F) in gastric carcinoma tissues. Original magnification, × 200.

Figure 2 Kaplan-Meier curves of the survival for gastric cancer patients with DNA methyltransferase expression (Log-rank test). A, C: No significant correlations between DNA methyltransferase 1 (DNMT1) and DNMTb expression and the overall survival time (P = 0.289, P = 0.347); B: Positive DNMT3a expression was significantly associated with poor survival in gastric cancer (P = 0.032).
