Low expression of Elongator/hnRNPQ/P53 is correlated with poor gemcitabine sensitivity and poor survival outcomes in GBC patients. a ELP5, hnRNPQ, and P53 expression assessed by histoscore were negatively correlated with the proliferation rate of GBC primary tumor cells under GEM treatment in mini-PDX models (Cohort 1), as normalized to vehicle treatment. Data represent the mean ± S.D, error bars represent S.D. b Kaplan–Meier estimate of survival time in GBC patients who received gemcitabine-cisplatin therapy after surgery (Cohort 2) according to different ELP5, hnRNPQ, and P53 levels in paraffin-fixed tumorous specimens. Scale bars = 100 μm. c, d Univariate (c) and multivariate (d) Cox regression analyses were performed in Cohort 2. The bars represent 95% CI. CI, confidence interval; HR, hazard ratio. e Kaplan–Meier estimate of survival time in GBC patients who received gemcitabine-cisplatin therapy after surgery (Cohort 2) based on combined ELP5 and T stages: low risk (high ELP5 and early T stage), intermediate-risk (low ELP5 and early T stage, or high ELP5 and advanced T stage), and high-risk (low ELP5 and advanced T stage) groups. Early T stage, T1~2; advanced T stage, T3~4. Mann–Whitney U tests were used in a (upper panel), the Pearson correlation coefficient were used in a (down panel), and log-rank tests were used in b, e.
