Figure 1 Representative transforming growth factor beta 2 expression in gastric cancer.
Transforming growth factor beta 2 (TGFβ2) was expressed at the cytoplasm of cancer cells and cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs). A: Both cancer cells and CAFs expressed TGFβ2; B: CAFs expressed TGFβ2, but not cancer cells; C: CAFs expressed TGFβ2, but not cancer cells; D: TGFβ2 was not expressed on cancer cells and CAFs. (Bar: 100 μm. Black arrows: TGFβ2 positive cancer cells; blue arrows: TGFβ2 positive CAFs) TGFβ2: Transforming growth factor beta 2; HE: Hematoxylin and eosin.
