Fig. 7From: Fibronectin mediates activation of stromal fibroblasts by SPARC in endometrial cancer cellsSPARC expression sites were adjacent to areas with FN1 expression in endometrial cancer tissues. Three cases of endometrial cancer, (A, B) endometrioid carcinoma grade 3 at stage IA (case #1), (C, D) endometrioid carcinoma grade 1 at stage IA (case #2), and (E–H) endometrioid carcinoma grade 1 at stage IA (case #3) were examined for SPARC (A, C, E, G) and FN1 (B, D, F, H) expression by immunohistochemistry. In the third case, a SPARC-positive area (E) and SPARC-negative area (G) were examined for FN1 expression (F, H). The scale bars indicate 100 μmBack to article page
