Figure 1. RP11-59H7.3 is upregulated in tumor tissues, serums and cell lines of CRC. (A) Relative expression levels of RP11-59H7.3 in 68 paired CRC and paired adjacent healthy tissues were quantified by RT-qPCR. (B) Relative expression levels of RP11-59H7.3 in 57 CRC serums and negative control sera were quantified by RT-qPCR. (C, D) Relative RP11-59H7.3 expression in the CRC patients for lymph node positive, lymph node negative and stage I+II, stage III+IV. (E) Relative RP11-59H7.3 expression in CRC cell lines (SW480, HCT116, LoVo, HT29, SW620, Caco-2) compared to normal colonic epithelial cell line NCM460 and HcoEpic. (F) Kaplan-Meier survival analysis of the overall survival in two groups defined by low and high expression of RP11-59H7.3 in patients with CRC. ***p < 0.001; ** p < 0.01; *p < 0.05.
