Increased tensin 4 expression is related to the histological type of gastric cancer

Figure 1 Tensin 4 expression in normal gastric mucosa. A: 100× magnification and gastric cancer samples; B and C: Poorly differentiated gastric cancer (GC); D: Moderately differentiated GC (magnification 200×).

Figure 2 Tensin 4 expression with clinical and pathological parameters of gastric cancer. A: Comparison of tensin 4 (TNS4) expression and (A) malignancy grade, G2 vs G4, statistically significant at P = 0.002; B: Tumor diameter; C: Histological type; D: Lauren’s classification. The comparison of TNS4 expression with the selected clinicopathological parameters was conducted using the Mann-Whitney U test for two groups and the Kruskal-Wallis test for three groups. Dunn’s multiple comparison post hoc tests were implemented for the Kruskal-Wallis test. A value of P < 0.05 was considered significant. ^aP < 0.05 G2 vs G4 TNS4 expression level in gastric cancer. G2: Moderately differentiated gastric cancer (GC); G3: Poorly differentiated GC; G4: non-differentiated GC.
