a, Correlation analysis of PCK2 and ACSL4 pT679 expression detected by IHC. The P value was determined using the two- tailed χ2 test. b-c, The PCK2 (b) and ACSL4 pT679 (c) expression in pre-treatment biopsies are positively related to clinical response of NPC patients to platinum-based induction chemotherapy. CR, complete response, n = 17; PR, partial response, n = 142; SD, stable disease, n = 23. The P value was determined using the two-tailed χ2 test. d, Correlations of locoregional recurrence status with the level of ACSL4 pT679 detected by IHC. The P value was determined using the two-tailed χ2 test. e-f, Kaplan-Meier analysis of disease-free survival (h) and overall survival (i) according to the ACSL4 pT679 expression levels. The P values in h-i were determined using the log-rank test. P = 0.0025 and 0.000049. g, Forest plots showing the results of multivariate Cox regression analysis, indicated that ACSL4 pT679 expression is a significant prognostic indicator for overall survival in NPC patients (Cox proportional-hazards model). pACSL4(T679) level (High vs. Low: HR = 0.219–0.631), gender (Male vs. Female: HR = 1.163–3.777), WHO type (III vs. II: HR = 0.206–0.887) and TNM stage (IV vs. III: HR = 1.252–2.886). h, Kaplan-Meier analysis of distant metastasis-free survival according to the ACSL4 pT679 expression levels. The P value was determined using the log-rank test.
