2. Figure 1
Identification of genes that can differentiate between benign and malignant pancreatic endocrine tumors. Data are presented in a matrix format: each row represents a cDNA clone on the microarray and each column an individual mRNA sample (samples 1, 2, 4, 7, 9, 10, 14, 15, 20, 21, 22, 23: metastatic tumors; samples 3, 5, 6, 8, 11, 12, 13, 16, 17, 18, 19, 24: non metastatic tumors). The results presented represent the ratio of hybridization of fluorescent cDNA probes prepared from each experimental mRNA sample to a reference mRNA sample. These ratios are a measure of relative gene expression in each experimental sample and were depicted according to the color scale shown at the bottom. Grey indicates missing data or excluded data.

4. Figure 3
Immunohistochemical expression of E-selectin, MKK4 and MDR1 by (A, C, E) benign and (B, D, F) malignant pancreatic endocrine tumors. (A) E-selectin is not detected in this benign tumor whereas (B) E-selectin+ capillaries are numerous in a malignant case. (C) MKK4 is expressed strongly in benign tumor and (D) detected faintly in a well-differentiated carcinoma. (E) MDR is negative in benign tumor cells but is expressed strongly by normal ducts within the tumor. (F) Its expression is strong and membranous in a metastatic case. Immunoperoxidase and hematoxylin nuclear counterstaining; original magnifications, 250×.
