Fig. 3: PLIN2 gene is highly expressed in CRC and correlates with poor prognosis.

A The expression PLIN2 in CRC tissues (n = 942) and normal tissues (n = 389) analyzed in the TCGA-CRC and GTEx databases. B, C The Kaplan - Meier method for comparing the survival of patients with high and low PLIN2 expression in the TCGA-CRC dataset (n = 596) and GSE39582 dataset (n = 577). D, E PLIN2 expression in CRC tissues at different stages, from I to IV based on AJCC Cancer Staging Manual, were measured using IHC staining (D). PLIN2 expression scores were shown in (E). F, G PLIN2 expression in normal colon tissue, adenoma and metastatic adenocarcinoma was measured using IHC staining (F). PLIN2 expression scores were shown in (G). Data are shown as mean ± SD. ***p < 0.001, ****p < 0.0001.
