Figure 1. IL-17RB is overexpressed in gastric cancer (GC), and the overexpression is negatively correlated with the cumulative survival of GC patients.

(a) Western blot analyses of IL-17RB protein expression in gastric cancer tissues and paired adjacent mucosa, the blots were cropped from the same gel. (b) Quantitative analyses for relative mRNA levels of IL-17RB in gastric cancer (tumor) and paired non-cancerous (adjacent mucosa) tissues. (n = 60; ***p < 0.001). The solid line designates matched samples. (c) Representative immunofluorescence images of IL-17RB expression showing upregulation in gastric cancer tissues. Scale bar = 50 μm. (d) Kaplan-Meier analysis shows a correlation between cumulative survival and IL-17RB expression levels in gastric cancer patients. Statistical significance was assessed with the log-rank test.
