Figure 1. Relative LOC100129148 expression in NPC tissues and cell lines, and its clinical significance. (A) Relative expression of LOC100129148 expression in NPC cell lines and normal NP epidermal cell. (B) Relative expression of LOC100129148 expression in NPC tissues (n = 82) and in paired adjacent normal tissues (n = 82). LOC100129148 expression was examined by qPCR and normalized to GAPDH expression. (shown as log2 ΔCT). (C) Relative expression of LOC100129148 expression in NPC tissues (n = 82) and in paired adjacent normal tissues (n = 82). LOC100129148 expression was examined by qPCR and normalized to GAPDH expression. (shown as log2ΔCT). (D) NPC patients were divided into a high group (≥mean, n=39) and a low group (<mean, n=43) on the basis of the cutoff value of LOC100129148 expression. (E) The Kaplan-Meier survival analysis indicated that LOC100129148 high expression (red line, n=39) has a worse overall survival compared to the low expression subgroup (green line, n=43). *P < 0.05. Means ± SEM are shown. Statistical analysis was conducted by student t-test.
