The expression pattern of Kindlin-2 in different subtypes of lung cancer.

<p>a. Kindlin-2 expression in tissues from normal and lung cancer tissues examined by IHC. Photos displayed are normal lung (A), Pseudo-stratified ciliated columnar epithelium (B), SCC (C), AC (D), LCC (E), and SCLC (F). b. Re-analyses of Kindlin-2 expression in Oncomine database. Left: Kindlin-2 expression extracted from Hou lung dataset; Right: Kindlin-2 expression extracted from Garber lung dataset. Statistical analyses between different patient groups were examined by Student's <i>t</i> test. ** represents for <i>p</i><0.01. c. Comparison of the expressions of Kindlin-1 and Kindlin-2 in SCC from the same patient. As displayed Kindlin-2 is highly expressed in tumor stroma, but not in lung cancer cells.
