Fig. 6From: LTBP1 promotes esophageal squamous cell carcinoma progression through epithelial-mesenchymal transition and cancer-associated fibroblasts transformationThe expression of LTBP1 and FN1 showed positive correlation in ESCC tissues. IHC showed that LTBP1 was mainly observed in cancer cells while FN1 was mainly observed in the surrounding stroma. In LTBP1 positive cases, the expression of LTBP1 was mostly located in tumor parenchymal margin. E-cadherin was highly expressed in tumor parenchymal center and TGFβ was uniformly expressed in tumor parenchymaBack to article page
