Figure Lengend Snippet: a–d IF analysis with anti-ALDH1B1, anti-RelA, and anti-CD31 antibodies was performed on lung cancer patients. Images from two representative patients showing tumor cells constrained or unconstrained in lung capillaries from n = 61 patients are shown ( a ). Semiquantitative scoring was performed ( b–d ) (paired t -test, two-tailed ( b , c ); (Pearson product moment correlation test, two-tailed ( d ); r = 0.78, P < 0.0001). e–g IF analysis with anti-ALDH1B1, anti-4-HNE, and anti-CD31 antibodies was performed on the same patients. Images from two representative patients showing tumor cells constrained or unconstrained in lung capillaries from n = 61 patients are shown ( e ). Semiquantitative scoring was performed ( f and g ) (paired t -test, two-tailed ( f ); (Pearson product moment correlation test, two-tailed ( g ); r = −0.60, P < 0.0001). h , i IF analysis with anti-ALDH1B1, anti-CD31 antibodies and TUNEL staining on the same patients. Images from two representative patients showing tumor cells constrained or unconstrained in lung capillaries from n = 61 patients are shown ( h ). Semiquantitative scoring was carried out ( i ) (Pearson product moment correlation test, two-tailed; r = −0.56, P < 0.0001). j , k Semiquantitative scoring of ALDH1B1 and 4-HNE intensity in tumor cells confined within capillaries of same patients was calculated. Patients from the cohort ( n = 61) were categorized based on metastatic recurrence status: with metastatic recurrence ( n = 29) and without metastatic recurrence ( n = 31). ALDH1B1 intensity was determined by averaging values from ( d , g , and i ), while 4-HNE intensity was derived from ( g ). Data represent the mean ± SD for the two groups (two-tailed Student’s t test). Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
