DJ-1 regulatory pathway proteins correlates in patient samples. A IF staining for DJ-1, HSC70, p-Smad3, TGF-β1 and TSP1 in ESCC tissues ordered by two groups (DJ-1 high and DJ-1 low). Scale bar, 500 μm (2x) and 20 μm (40x). B Correlation analysis of integrated optical density (IOD) between the detected targets with DJ-1. C Heatmaps of the score of -log(2^-Δct) from qRT-PCR results of DJ-1, HSC70, p-Smad3, TGF-β1 and TSP1 in ESCC tissues. D Correlation analysis of the score of -log(2^-Δct) between the detected targets with DJ-1
