Figure 1. The inverse correlation between the lung IFN-γ expression and the occurrence or grade progression of lung cancer.

Figure 1

(A) the data of about 150 patient samples with lung squamous cell carcinomas or lung adenocarcinomas was retrieved from the TCGA database and divided into two groups based on lung IFN-γ levels: 50% samples are in the “IFN-γ high” group and another 50% samples are in the “IFN-γ low” group. The survival rate was plotted vs. survival time in each group; (B) the data from 33 patient samples with lung adenocarcinomas was further divided based on grade of the disease. The IFN-γ level in sub-groups was plotted vs. grade of lung adenocarcinoma. **P < 0.01; (C) the data from 116 patient samples with lung squamous cell carcinomas was also further divided based on grade of the disease, and the IFN-γ level in sub-groups was plotted vs. grade of the lung squamous cell carcinoma. No significant difference (P > 0.05) was determined among the sub-groups.
