Figure Lengend Snippet: a , normal colonic epithelium (NCE) demonstrating moderate cytoplasmic (thick arrow) and weak membrane (thin arrow) FUT3 staining (400 µm). b , CRCs exhibiting strong cytoplasmic (thick arrows) and moderate to weak membrane FUT3 staining (thin arrows) (400 µm). c , CRCs with weak cytoplasmic staining (thin arrows) (400 µm). d , NCE demonstrating weak cytoplasmic TRIM29 staining with a focal punctuate pattern (thin arrows) (400 µm). e , CRCs exhibiting moderate to strong cytoplasmic TRIM29 staining with a punctate pattern on the luminal aspect (thin arrows) (600 µm). f , CRCs with weak cytoplasmic TRIM29 staining (thin arrows) (400 µm). g , NCE demonstrating weak cytoplasmic to complete lack of IQGAP3 staining. [Note: Lymphocytes in the stroma show moderate cytoplasmic staining (thin arrows); the adjacent tumor demonstrates moderate cytoplasmic and nuclear immunostaining (thick arrows) (400 µm)]. h , CRCs exhibiting strong cytoplasmic IQGAP3 staining (thick arrows) (400 µm). i , CRCs with lack of staining for IQGAP3 (thick arrows) (400 µm). j , NCE demonstrating moderate cytoplasmic staining of SLC6A8 staining (thin arrows) (600 µm). k , CRCs exhibiting strong cytoplasmic SLC6A8 staining with luminal accentuation (thick arrows) (600 µm). l , CRCs negative for SLC6A8 staining (thick arrows) (600 µm).
