Figure Lengend Snippet: Examination of Prx4 protein levels in patient specimens of prostate cancer by tissue microarray or established prostate cancer cell lines by Western blotting. A , tissue microarray slides and representative images of anti-Prx4 staining of prostate normal and adenocarcinoma. Positive anti-Prx4 staining shows in dark brown and counter staining for nuclear shows light blue . The scale bars represent 5 mm (whole slide), 500 μm (individual tumor), and 100 μm (zoomed in). B and C , anti-Prx4 staining intensity were quantitatively scored by board-certified pathologist and data were compared between prostate normal (n = 50) and adenocarcinoma (n = 66) ( B ), as well as between prostate normal and cancer with different levels of Gleason grading ( C ). D , examination of Prx4 levels in prostate derived nontumorigenic or tumor cell lines by Western blotting. The bar graph on the right shows quantitative data from three independent blots. ∗ p < 0.05 by two-way ANOVA. Prx, peroxiredoxin.
