The expression of GOLPH3 mRNA and protein in the human RCC surgical specimens, as evaluated by real-time quantitative PCR and western blotting. (A) The relative mRNA expression of GOLPH3 was higher in 43 RCC tumour tissues than in matched adjacent non-tumour tissues (P<0.001). (B) The GOLPH3 protein expression was higher in the tumour tissues than in matched adjacent non-tumour tissues (P<0.001). (C) Expression of GOLPH3 protein in five representative pairs of RCC tissues is presented. N=non-tumour tissues; T=RCC tissues.
