Vimentin transcript and protein levels within the bladder cancer cohort. a differential mRNA expression of vimentin between non-muscle (NMIBC) and muscle-invasive (MIBC) bladder cancer. mRNA expression levels are plotted as relative expression levels, normalized to GUSB and HPRT1; b differential protein (immuno)expression of vimentin between NMIBC and MIBC. The immunoexpression score (intensity × percentage) is plotted; c immunoexpression of vimentin among normal bladder, NMIBC, MIBC and bladder cancer metastases. The immunoexpression score (intensity × percentage) is plotted. Red dash and bars represent median and interquartile range. Correction for multiple comparisons was employed and adjusted p-values are represented (*p < 0.05; **p < 0.01; ***p < 0.001; ****p < 0.0001)
