Fig. 2: M2BPGi is derived from stromal cells of the cirrhotic liver.

From: Mac-2-binding protein glycan isomer enhances the aggressiveness of hepatocellular carcinoma by activating mTOR signaling

Fig. 2

a The expression of M2BP mRNA was assessed using RNA in situ hybridisation. M2BP mRNA was detected (arrows) in stromal cells of the cirrhotic liver (b, c) but not in hepatocytes (e, f) at ×400 magnification. Haematoxylin–eosin staining (a, d) at ×100 magnification. b M2BP mRNA was detected (arrows) in stromal cells of the HCC but not in HCC cells (b, d) at ×400 magnification. Haematoxylin–eosin staining (a, c) at ×100 and ×200 magnification.
