TMEM17 and non-small cell lung carcinoma: In the 20 cases of paired tissue samples, the results of western blotting showed that the normalized protein level of TMEM17 in noncancerous lung tissues (Mean ± SD = 0.9305 ± 0.1173) were significantly higher than in NSCLC specimens (Mean ± SD = 0.5902 ± 0.076, p=0.010, Figure 1A and 1B), and corresponding IHC staining results showed that TMEM17 was localized in the cytoplasm of all tested samples (Figure 1C).
