Fig. 2. Expression of MCT4 protein in the normal thyroid tissue, papillary thyroid carcinoma, and anaplastic thyroid carcinoma. Representative images for IHC staining of MCT4 protein in thyroid tissue. All figures are low magnification images (×200). (A) Representative MCT4 negative expression in PTC tissue. (B) <10% positive stain cells (1+) in PTC tissue. (C) 10-50% positive, (2+) in ATC tissue. (D) >50% positive (3+) stain cells in ATC tissue. (E) Comparison of protein expression of MCT4 between normal (n=120), PTC (n=138), and ATC (n=21). Asterisks (***p<0.001) indicate significant differences from the statistical analyses. ATC: anaplastic thyroid carcinoma, IHC: immunohistochemical, PTC: papillary thyroid carcinoma
