Figure 1. Down-regulated SLC19A3 gene expression in primary breast cancer tissues.

Relative SLC19A3 mRNA expression between tumor tissues and their paired adjacent non-tumor breast from breast cancer patients (n = 15) by real-time qPCR. Expression of SLC19A3 mRNA (Log₁₀ scale at Y-axis) was normalized to GAPDH. The lines inside the boxes denote the medians. The boxes mark the interval between the 25^th and 75^th percentiles. The whiskers denote the interval between the 10^th and 90^th percentiles. Statistical difference was analyzed by Wilcoxon test, P<0.005.
