Fig. 1: The expression of TM7SF2 is upregulated in cervical cancer.

A The expression level of TM7SF2 mRNA was measured by real-time RT-PCR in human cervical cancer cells compared with normal cervical epithelial cells. **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001 compared to Ect1 cells. B Top panel: the expression level of TM7SF2 protein was measured by western blotting in human cervical cancer cells compared with normal cervical epithelial cells. Bottom panel: quantitative results were illustrated. **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001 compared to Ect1 cells. C Left panel: the expression level of TM7SF2 protein was measured by IHC in human cervical cancer tissues and adjacent non-tumor tissues. Right panel: IHC scores were used to analyze the experimental results. The data were displayed as median with interquartile range. ***p < 0.001 compared to normal tissues.
