Table 2.

Correlation between G3BP1 and IL-6/pSTAT3 expressions in RCC

		G3BP1 expression		Spearman’s r
		Up	Down	Correlation coefficient	p Value
IL-6	Up	21	2	0.510	0.003*
IL-6	Down	4	5	0.510	0.003*
pSTAT3	Up	20	0	0.683	<0.0001*
pSTAT3	Down	5	7	0.683	<0.0001*

Note: The expressions of G3BP1, IL-6 and pSTAT3 were quantified and compared between RCC tumor (T) and paired adjacent normal tissue (N). The relative ratio T/N > 1 was defined as “Up”, and T/N < 1 was defined as “Down”.

*p < 0.05 indicates statistical significance by Spearman’s correlation coefficient analysis.
