Expression pattern of different Wnt-signaling molecules in patients’ biopsies from squamous epithelium, Barrett’s mucosa, HGIN and EAC. Expression of the receptors Fzd1–10, the co-receptors LRP5/6 and ligands Wnt3a and Wnt5a were analyzed by RT-PCR in biopsies taken during endoscopy from squamous epithelium (SQ_1–7) and their corresponding Barrett’s mucosa (BM_1–7), as well as in specimens from patients with high-grade intraepithelial neoplasia (HGIN_1–7) and esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC_1–7). Biopsies were placed directly in RNAlater®. PCR products were applied to 2% ethidiumbromid stained agarose and visualized with UV light
