Fig. 1: Expression and prognostic significance of mex3a in LUAD.
From: Mex3a interacts with LAMA2 to promote lung adenocarcinoma metastasis via PI3K/AKT pathway
a Volcano of altered genes in the mex3a family in seven pairs of LUAD tissues and tumor-adjacent tissues from transcriptome Microarray sequencing. b Heatmap of altered genes in the mex3a family in LUAD. High and low expression levels are indicated in red and yellow. c–e mex3a mRNA expression analysis in LUAD and nontumor tissues in GEO (GSE 19804 (c) and GSE 116959 (d)) and TCGA(E)datasets. f–h Representative IHC images of mex3a expression of high expression (f) and low expression (g) of LUAD and para-tumor (h). i IHC score for mex3a in the tissue microarray. j Kaplan–Meier analysis of LUAD cohorts based on predictive survival analysis. k mex3a protein expression was detected by western blot in eight paired LUAD tissue samples. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001, and ****P < 0.0001.
