From: Endoglin (CD105) and VEGF as potential angiogenic and dissemination markers for colorectal cancer
Soluble Endoglin and VEGF plasma levels comparing metastasis and non-metastasis groups of colon cancer. Plasma samples from different patients at time 0, at the same moment before resection of tumor sample were collected, and levels of sEng in nanograms per milliliter (a) and VEGF in picograms per milliliter (b) were measured by ELISA. The number of samples was n = 14 (non-metastasis VEGF group), n = 11 (metastasis VEGF group), n = 17 (non-metastasis sEng group), and n = 10 (metastasis sEng group). The dashed lines in both graphs indicate the considered normal values levels for each protein. sEng, soluble Endoglin; VEGF, Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor; Met, metastasis; No Met, non-metastasis
