Expression of FPRs was increased in CRC tissues. (a) The levels of FPR mRNA in CRC tissues, distant control, and adjacent non-tumor tissues were examined with real-time quantitative PCR. The relative transcript expression was calculated as 2−ΔΔCT and was normalized against GAPDH/PPIA. (b) The tissue homogenates were analyzed by western blotting for the expression of FPR1. Two representative sample blots (p5 and p13) are shown. M, distant mormal tissue; N, adjacent non-tumor tissue; T, cancer tissue. The full-length blots were presented in Supplementary Fig. S3. (c) The blots were quantified densitometrically and the relative immunoreactivities are shown. All data shown are means ± SEM. *p < 0.05 compared with distant control; # p < 0.05 compared with adjacent non-tumor tissue.
