Expression of APM2 in various tissues. (a–c) Hematoxylin and eosin staining of (a) normal skin tissue, (b) normal kidney tissue, and (c) normal adipose tissue. (d–f) Immunohistochemical staining of APM2 of (d) normal skin tissue, (e) normal kidney tissue, and (f) normal adipose tissue. The scale bar represents 100 µm. (g–k) The level of APM2 in the liver and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) from patients who had received no chemotherapy. (g) Expression of APM2 gene in the surrounding liver tissue (SL) and HCC in 12 patients. B2M, β2 microglobulin. The black arrow indicates that the case showed an increased level of APM2 gene expression in the tumor, whereas the white arrow indicates that the case showed no significant changes between the tumor and surrounding area. The significance of APM2 gene expression was examined using the paired t-test. (h–k) Representative immunohistochemical staining of APM2 in the liver tissues (h, i) and the HCC tissues (j, k) of each case. The scale bar represents 100 µm.
