CCN2 and non-small cell lung carcinoma: Western blotting results showed that significantly lower amount of CTGF protein in lung cancerous tissues was detected at both genders (males: p < 0.0000001; females: p = 0.02) and in ADC (p = 0.005), SCC (p = 0.00001) and LCC (p = 0.01) histological subtypes of NSCLC (Table 2).
