Fig. 6. Vacuolar protein sorting 33B (VPS33B) contributed as a favorable prognosis factor in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC).

a Immunohistochemistry demonstrated that the protein expression of VPS33B was decreased in NPC tissues compared to their nasopharyngeal tissues. b VPS33B mRNA level was obviously increased in nasopharyngeal tissues compared to NPC tissues according to quantitative polymerase chain reaction analysis. c Kaplan–Meier survival analysis showed overall survival of NPC patients on the basis of VPS33B protein expression analysis. Log-rank test was used to calculate P values. d Stratified analysis, respectively, showed the survival prognosis of NPC patients in tumor node metastasis I–II or III–IV stage based on VPS33B protein expression analysis. e Stratified analysis, respectively, showed the survival prognosis of NPC patients in smoking or non-smoking status based on VPS33B protein expression analysis. f Kaplan–Meier survival analysis showed overall survival of NPC patients on the basis of NESG1 and VPS33B protein expression analysis. Log-rank test was used to calculate P values
