Figure 1. Expression and prognostic significance of the expression of FAM83H, SCRIB, and β-catenin in 200 human gastric carcinomas. (A) Immunohistochemical expression of FAM83H, SCRIB, and β-catenin in normal gastric mucosa, gastric dysplasia, and gastric carcinoma tissue. FAM83H and SCRIB are expressed in both the cytoplasm and nuclei of tumor cells. Original magnification: x400. (B) Immunohistochemical staining scores for nuclear FAM83H (FAM83H-N), cytoplasmic FAM83H (FAM83H-C), nuclear SCRIB (SCRIB-N), cytoplasmic SCRIB (SCRIB-C), and nuclear β-catenin (β-catenin-N) in 20 normal gastric mucosa, 40 gastric dysplasia, and 200 gastric carcinomas. (C) The expression of mRNA of FAM83H and SCRIB in normal gastric tissue and gastric cancers from the GEPIA database (http://gepia.cancer-pku.cn. Accessed 10 January 2020). (D) ROC curve analysis to determine cut-off points for the expression of FAM83H-N (red arrow), FAM83H-C (red empty arrow), SCRIB-N (blue arrowhead), SCRIB-C (blue empty arrowhead), and β-catenin-N (green arrowhead). The cut-off points are determined at the point of the highest area under the curve (AUC) to predict the death of gastric carcinoma patients. (E) Kaplan-Meier survival analysis of overall survival and relapse-free survival according to the FAM83H-N, FAM83H-C, SCRIB-N, SCRIB-C, and β-catenin-N expression.
