Fig. 6: Overexpression of ECHS1 is associated with tumor progression and poor prognosis of CRC.

A Representative images of IHC staining analyses of LASP1 and ECHS1 in CRC tissues. B Western blot analysis of ECHS1 in CRC tissues (T) and adjacent nontumor tissues (N). The scatterplot on the right shows the relative expression of ECHS1 in normal and CRC tissues (normalized to GAPDH, P < 0.05). C Left panel: immunohistochemistry (IHC) analysis of ECHS1 in CRC tissues and adjacent nontumor tissues. Right panel: histogram representing IHC results in CRC tissues (T) and adjacent nontumor tissues (N) and with or without lymph-node metastasis. D Kaplan–Meier survival curves and univariate analyses (log rank) for CRC patients with distinct expression levels of ECHS1. E Sketch map of the mechanism of ECHS1-mediated CRC proliferation and drug resistance.
