High expression of ubiquitin-specific peptidase 17, macrophages markers, and inflammatory mediators in lung cancers. a Different GEO and Oncomine datasets as indicated were analyzed for the induction of ubiquitin-specific peptidase 17 (USP17) in tissue samples obtained from patients with lung cancer. b Kaplan–Meier analysis of USP17 expression and survival of patients with lung cancer. Correlation between USP17 expression and survival of patients with lung cancer was analyzed online by the cBioPortal software. The data of patients with lung cancer in the database of cBioPortal were from the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA). c–d A set of cDNA array prepared from 48 normal or lung cancer tissues was subjected to RT-qPCR for analyzing the expressions of USP17 (c), inflammatory markers (d), and macrophage markers (e) as indicated. Clinic data of each sample are shown in Supplementary Table 1. Data represent mean ± standard deviation of three analysis, *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01
