UFC1 was highly expressed in breast tissues, indicating the poor prognosis of breast cancer patients. (A, B) RT-PCR was performed to test UFC1 expression in breast tissue specimens compared with adjacent non-tumor tissue. (C) The prognosis of breast cancer patients who had higher or lower UFC1 expression analyzed by Kaplan-Meier analysis and log-rank test. (D) The expression of UFC1 in human breast cancer cell lines (SKBR-3, BT-474,MDA-MB-231,MDA-MB-453, and MCF-7) as well as normal breast cell line (HBL-100). Data are presented as the mean±standard deviation. ** P<0.01 versus control group. RT-PCR – real-time polymerase chain reaction.
