RNase A protection assays were used to examine mRNA levels in 19 sporadic tumour samples, and a consistent decrease in BRCA1 mRNA levels was observed in invasive tumours as compared with either paired normal tissue or ductal carcinoma in situ.
In our model, the liver showed a high fungal burden and a consistent decrease of the burden over time, and a low inter-individual variation at early and mid-time-points, making it the most robust target organ for barcode-based in vivo detection of C. glabrata pools.
In 11 of 18 cirrhotic livers, we observed clusters of hepatocytes overexpressing IGF-2, and a consistent decrease of hepatocellular M6P/IGF-2R-specific immunostaining in all of the examined cirrhotic liver specimens compared to normal liver indicating that these mechanisms play a role early in hepatocarcinogenesis prior to the appearance of dysplastic nodules.
