Role of LOXL1 in pan-cancer. (A) The expression levels of LOXL1 in tumor tissues and corresponding normal tissues from UALCAN database. Student’s t test was used for statistical analysis (ns: not significant, *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001 and ****P < 0.0001). (B) The upper panel showed the survival map using the online tool of Gene Expression Profiling Interactive Analysis (GEPIA2). The Kaplan–Meier survival plots in the lower panel indicated that high LOXL1 expression correlated with poor survival outcome in different kinds of cancer (COAD, GBM, KIRC, LGG, LUAD and SARC). (C) Correlation of LOXL1 expression with the infiltration level of immune cells in COAD, BRCA and HNSC. (D) Pearson correlation was analyzed between LOXL1 expression and the infiltration of cancer-associated fibroblast (CAF) (left panel) and endothelial cell (EC) (right panel) based on the EPIC, MCPCOUNTEER, XCELL and TIDE algorithms. (E) Comparison of LOXL1 expression among different immune infiltration subtypes in multiple cancers from the Tumor–Immune System Interactions and Drug Bank (TISIDB) database. (C1, wound healing; C2, IFN-gamma dominant; C3, inflammatory; C4, lymphocyte depleted; C5, immunologically quiet; and C6, TGF-b dominant)
