Figure 4

Expression of plectin and FAK phosphorylation in hepatocellular carcinoma. (a) Immunohistochemical analyses on the paraffin-embedded samples of human hepatocellular carcinomas and non-tumor liver tissues were detected by the use of anti-plectin antibody (×200). Plectin was detected with stronger signals in non-tumor liver tissue (lower left area) whereas HCC tissues showed weak signals (upper right area). (b) The results of immunohistochemical analysis on paraffin-embedded samples of HCC tissues by using anti-FAK antibody. The expression FAK was higher at the invasive front of tumor. In contrast, the central part of tumor revealed lower FAK expression with weak signals.
