Expression analysis of SF-1. Expression analysis of SF-1 mRNA by RT-PCR (A) and of SF-1 protein by IHC (B and C) in controls (tissue from patients with aldosterone-producing adenoma, n = 3) and in tissue from the subject of the present case report. SF-1 mRNA levels were significantly higher in the present case than in the controls (A). Statistical analysis was performed with the Mann-Whitney U test. In IHC, nuclear staining was nominally higher in the present case (B) than in the controls (C). IHC: immunohistochemical staining, RT-PCR: reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction, SF-1: steroidogenic factor 1
