Fig. 1. Human PDAC has high LGALS9 mRNA levels.

Fig. 1

a Box plots of LGALS9 (galectin-9) mRNA expression measured in various human solid tumors (sample size in parentheses) assessed by RNA-seq. Tumors are sorted in order of decreasing median expression of LGALS9 mRNA. Of the pancreatic cancer samples from the TCGA database (n = 179), we analyzed only PDAC (n = 146). All expression values are log2-transformed. b Expression of CD274 (PD-L1) and LGALS9 mRNA was tested in human PDAC tissues using the TCGA database. c Correlation between high and low tertiles of LGALS9 mRNA expression and CD4, CD8A, and TRGC2 expression, d CD163, CD206, and TNF (TNFA) and e FUT4 (CD15) expression. Each point represents data from one patient. Data, median, unpaired t-test. *p< 0.05, ****p< 0.0001.
