From: Increased mRNA expression levels of ERCC1, OGG1 and RAIin colorectal adenomas and carcinomas
mRNA expression of ERCC1, OGG1 and RAI in lesions. mRNA levels were normalized to the 18S mRNA level. The classification of lesions are; M/M: adenoma with mild or moderate dysplasia; S: adenomas with severe dysplasia; C: adenocarcinomas. Open squares designate the expression level in normal colonic mucosa while crossbars designate the expression in lesions. A: ERCC1, B: OGG1, C: RAI. * designate statistically significant different mRNA levels in normal colonic mucosa compared with lesions in the same persons (p < 0.05).
