Article Title: Differential Expression of RAD51AP1 in Ovarian Cancer: Effects of siRNA In Vitro

doi: 10.3390/jpm12020201

Figure Lengend Snippet: RAD51AP1 protein expression in ovarian cancer (OvCa) patients. A tissue microarray containing 90 unique OvCa patient samples and 10 normal adjacent tissues (NAT) was stained with RAD51AP1 antibody using immunohistochemistry (IHC). Staining intensity values measure the level of RAD51AP1 staining (brown): 0 ≤ 10% stained, 1 = 10–25% stained, 2 = 25–30% stained, 3 = 50–75% stained and 4 ≥ 75%. The cohorts were grouped based on: ( a ) pathological diagnosis: high grade serous (HGS), low grade serous (LGS), clear cell carcinoma (CCC), mucinous (MUC) OvCa and NAT, ( b ) lymph node (LN) metastasis compared to ovarian cancer (OvCa), ( c ) age, and ( d ) early (I and II) and late (III and IV) stages. The images of the cores that are presented above the plots are representative of the group and were taken at 10× magnification. Presented p -values were obtained using ANOVA and t -Test respectively; * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.001.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Validation of microarray data using RT-qPCR. ( a ) Up-regulation of expression in three of the four genes, with IL1A showing statistical significance (* p = 0.0175) and no change seen in F2RL2. ( b ) Down-regulation was noted in two out of three genes tested (MEGF6 and CTFG, but not SHISA2), with CTFG being significantly reduced in expression (** p = 0.0098). IL1A: interleukin 1 alpha, EGR1: early growth response 1, IL1B: interleukin 1 beta, F2RL2: coagulation factor II thrombin receptor like 2, MEGF: multiple EGF like domains 6, SHISA2: Shisa family member 2, CTGF: connective tissue growth factor.
