Expression levels of the three GEFs studied related to tnm status


Guanine Nucleotide Exchange Factors

TNM status
TRIO
VAV1
TIAM-1

160 ± 50.5
0.41 ± 0.22
430 ± 117

tnm = tumour-node-metastasis.

TIAM-1 expression increased with tumour-node-metastasis (tnm) status as did Vav1 levels however, Trio expression showed an increase from tnm1 to tnm3 (160 ± 50 tnm1 and 669 ± 554 tnm4 p = 0.39) but a decrease in Trio expression in tnm2 tumours (117 ± 62).
