Low NDRG2 expression and an NDRG2low/Skp2high gene expression signature correlate with poor patient outcome. a Immunohistochemistry staining of NDRG2 and Skp2 in human adjacent normal and cancerous colon tissues from CRC patients. b Negative correlation between NDRG2 and Skp2 expression levels with linear regression and Pearson’s correlation significance (P< 0.0001, ANOVA test). c Negative correlation between NDRG2 and Skp2 mRNA expression patterns in TCGA cbioportal data set with linear regression and Pearson’s correlation significance (P < 0.001, ANOVA test). d, e Skp2 expression by immunohistochemistry staining in human tissues at different stage d or differentiation status e. f, g Kaplan–Meier plots indicate the clinical outcomes for Skp2 expression f and NDRG2low/Skp2high expression signature g by immunohistochemistry staining in CRCs. n indicates the number of patient samples evaluated in each analysis. P-values were calculated using the Mantel–Cox log-rank test. h The proposed mechanism of NDRG2 action in regulation of CRC differentiation
