TIPE2 expression was downregulated in esophageal carcinoma tissues and cells. a RT-qPCR assay was used to detect TIPE2 mRNA expression in 29 pairs of esophageal carcinoma tissues and adjacent normal tissues, with β-actin as an endogenous control. b The overall expression of TIPE2 protein in 29 pairs of esophageal carcinoma tissues and adjacent normal tissues was measured using western blot and normalized to β-actin expression. c TIPE2 protein level in esophageal carcinoma cell lines (KYSE410, EC9706, KYSE150, TE-1, and EC109) and normal human esophageal epithelial cells (HEEC), *P < 0.05
