CTSL upregulation in breast cancer. a CTSL semiquantitative PCR testing CTSL expression in breast cancer patients using Tissues can breast tissue panels. CTSL mRNA levels were normalized to β-actin. Line, median; whiskers, values at 25th and 75th percentiles; Mann–Whitney test. b–d Kaplan–Meier plots of relapse free, distant metastases free and overall survival using the KM plotter meta-analysis database. Breast cancer patients were stratified on the basis of CTSL expression level. Statistical significance was determined using log rank test. e Quantification of CTSL secretion by ELISA on 24 h conditioned media. Bars represent mean and s.e.m. from three independent experiments
