Figure Lengend Snippet: EMT marker analysis in adenocarcinoma in correlation with CD26/DPP4 expression, Vimentin, Elastin, β-catenin, Periostin, Versican, and E-cadherin (A–F) . Mann–Whitney U-test; **p < 0.01; ****p < 0.0001. (G–I) Serial section analysis of representative cases; each row represents a single case with various staining scores for specific markers. (G) Upper row: Vimentin score 3/CD26/DPP4 score 3. Lower row: Vimentin score 1/CD26/DPP4 negative. (H) Upper row: Elastin score 3, CD26/DPP4 score 2. Lower row: Elastin score 1, CD26/DPP4 negative. (I) Upper row: E-cadherin score 3, CD26/DPP4 score 1. Lower row: E-cadherin score 1, CD26/DPP4 score 3. Scale bar, 100 µm. EMT, epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition.
