Fig. 2: High NFAT5 expression was linked to poor prognosis in PDAC.

a The NFAT5 expression of tumor tissues and paired non-tumor tissues in the GSE15471, GSE28735, and Ren Ji cohort. b Standard immunohistochemical scoring pictures of NFAT5 expression in 311 pancreatic cancer tumors and adjacent normal tissues. c Respective sample counts in tumor tissues and adjacent tissues. d Heatmap shows the counted numbers of four levels of NFAT expression and its correlation with TNM classification according to the IHC. e Kaplan–Meier analysis of overall survival rate related to the expression of NFAT5 expression in 311 cases based on the Renji patients. f Standard immunohistochemical pictures in different stages of PDAC progression in KPC mice. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ****P < 0.0001.
