1. Expression of phosphorylated BNP, HIF-2 alpha and beta actin proteins in the primary tumour tissues using western blotting.
Expression of phosphorylated BNP, HIF-2 alpha and beta actin proteins in the primary tumour tissues using western blotting. BNPs were lower expressed in the primary tumours and in normal kidney than those in normal liver and adrenal ground tissues (A). HIF-2 alpha is increased expressed in the tumours than in normal kidney (B). Each number corresponds to a case number. Adr, normal adrenal gland; BNP, brain natriuretic peptide; HIF-2, hypoxia-inducible factor 2; Liv, normal liver; M, marker; N, non- tumour tissue; T, primary tumour tissue.
