Fig. 3From: Study of the tumor microenvironment during breast cancer progressionThe evaluation of T helper 17 cells related genes. RNA was extracted from breast cancer and normal samples. The expression of RORC (main transcription factor of Th17 cells) and STAT3 (Signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) was measured by qPCR. The quantity of genes was determined a in the breast cancer and normal biopsies b in the different stages of tumor and control breast tissues. *Pv < 0.05, **Pv < 0.01Back to article page
