Figure 3

Boxplot to show the quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction results of ALDH isozymes in the ovarian cancer cells present in different subtypes of ovarian tumor tissues. RNA was extracted from tumor cells microdissected from 19 high-grade serous, 5 mucinous, 6 clear cell, and 5 endometrioid tumor tissues and quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reactions were performed. Each box covers the middle 50% of ranks of ordered expression of the corresponding ALDH isozyme, and the horizontal line within a box marks the median. The lines extending from a box reach to the minimum and maximum data values, except the presence of outliers that are marked with an asterisk. Kruskal-Wallis P-values are presented to indicate whether the median ranks of the ALDH isozymes are significantly different among the four histologic groups. C, clear cell ovarian tumors; E, endometrioid ovarian tumors; M, mucinous ovarian tumors; S, serous ovarian tumors.
