Fig. 7 JNK1 Activation Is Coincident with Nuclear Accumulation of β-Catenin in Human Tumor Samples
FFPE human-matched grossly uninvolved and adenoma samples obtained from FAP patients and unmatched sporadic carcinomas were stained to indicate DNA (magenta) and (A) CtBP (green), (B) β-catenin* (green), or (C) phospho-cJun (green) as an indicator of JNK activity. Overall, 20 patients matched grossly uninvolved, and adenoma or unmatched carcinoma tissue samples were stained. Shown are two representative samples. All images were captured using the same exposure, and overlapping expression is shown in white.
*Note: A section from each of the β-catenin-stained adenomas was enlarged to the right. Each antibody was evaluated using serial sections. Scale bar, 5 μm.
