From: Frequent loss of heterozygosity and altered expression of the candidate tumor suppressor gene 'FAT' in human astrocytic tumors

Figure 5

(a) RT-PCR of the mRNA transcript for FAT and GAPDH (used as internal control) in astrocytic tumors (A = grade II and G = grade IV). (b) Densitometric analysis of the FAT mRNA expression, normalized with GAPDH. The bars in black indicate U87MG and U373MG, delineating high expression of FAT mRNA. (c) On the basis of IDV (<0.75, 0.75–1.5 and >1.5) tumors were grouped into 3 groups. Most of the tumors could be clustered in two groups, one of which has comparatively lower FAT expression then the other group, the difference was statistically significant (p = 0.000001 by Students t Test).
