Figure Lengend Snippet: TGFBI is associated with the hypoxic microenvironment in human gliomas. (A) FISH staining of TGFBI in human GBM specimens (Ivy gap datasets). Scale bars: 2 mm; enlarged image: 100 μm. (B) Volcano map showing genes highly expressed in hypoxia region (pseudopalisade and microvascular proliferation regions). Each dot represents a gene. (C) Correlation between TGFBI and mRNA expression of hypoxia-related gene in the CCGA-GBM and TGGA-GBM datasets. CC, correlation coefficient; Dot size and color represent the correlation coefficient. (D) IF staining of TGFBI (green) and two hypoxia-associated markers, HIF1α (above, red) and CA9 (bottom, red), in human GBM specimens. Scale bars: 50 μm; enlarged image: 10 μm. (E) IHC staining demonstrating the association between TGFBI and HIF1α proteins in human gliomas. AOD, Average of density; n = 58.
