Expression of RhoA mRNA in epithelial ovarian tumors. a, Expression of RhoA mRNA by RT-PCR. Specific bands for RhoA and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (G3PDH) are observed at the expected 183 and 226 bp, respectively. b, The ratio of RhoA/G3PDH in ovarian carcinomas is significantly higher than that in benign tumors. c, According to the histologic subtypes of ovarian carcinoma, expression of RhoA mRNA is higher in serous carcinomas than in endometrioid or clear cell carcinomas. B = benign tumor; L = borderline tumor; C = carcinoma; s = serous; m = mucinous; e = endometrioid; c = clear cell; open circle ± bar = mean ± se; * p = 0.0035, † p = 0.0389, ‡ p = 0.0075.
