Fig 1 p300 expression by immunohistochemical staining. (A, B) Normal esophageal mucosa demonstrated low expression of p300 protein in the nuclei of all esophageal squamous cells (magnification: A, ×40; B, ×400). (C, D). An esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) case demonstrating a low expression level of p300 (magnification: C, ×40; D, ×400). (E, F) High expression level of p300 detected in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (magnification: E, ×40; F, ×400).

Fig 3 Disease-free survival (A, C, E) and overall survival (B, D, F) curves for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma patients according to their p300 expression status. (A, B) Disease-free survival and overall survival curves for patients with low and high expression levels of p300. (C, D) Disease-free survival and overall survival curves for patients with low and high expression levels of p300 at stage II.
