From: More expression of BDNF associates with lung squamous cell carcinoma and is critical to the proliferation and invasion of lung cancer cells

a Expression of BDNF was detected by western blot in paired tumors (T) and non-tumors (N) from 8 of 25 lung cancer patients, and 4 of which were SCC (T1, T3, T5, T7), the other 4 were ADC (T2, T4, T6, T8). It was shown that BDNF expression was up-regulated in tumor compared with non-tumor of the same patient. β-actin was used as a reference control to ensure the equal protein quantity in all lanes. b The ratio between the optical density of BDNF and β-actin of the same sample was calculated and plotted. The significant difference of BDNF between tumors (T) and non-tumors (N) were analyzed statistically. BDNF immunoreactivity is greater in neoplastic tissues
