Fig. 1From: Cancer-associated fibroblasts promote the survival of irradiated nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells via the NF-κB pathwayCAFs induced radioresistance of tumor cells. a and b RSI scores of tumors with abundant CAF infiltration were higher than the group with low CAF infiltration based on TCGA database and GSE12452 dataset, respectively. c HE staining showed the infiltration of CAFs in NPC tissue. d and e IHC showed greater CAF infiltration in radioresistant NPC tissue. f and g Western blot and immunofluorescence assay showed that CAFs expressed higher levels of α-SMA than NFs. h-j CAFs induced radioresistance of NPC cells. * P < 0.05; ** P < 0.01; *** P < 0.001; **** P < 0.0001, ns, no significanceBack to article page
