Fig. 2. Gas6 expression across breast cancer subtypes.
a Graph depicts quantitation Gas6 protein staining of TMAs, expressed as the percentage (%) of patients expressing epithelial Gas6 protein in different molecular subtypes: normal breast (n = 9), luminal A (n = 39), luminal B (n = 18), Her2+ (n = 19), and TNBC (n = 19). b Mean Gas6 mRNA expression across distinct molecular subtypes relative to non-cancer and normal-like breast tissues, using METABRIC dataset (non-cancerous, n = 6; normal-like cancers, n = 140; luminal A, n = 679; luminal B, n = 461; Her2, n = 219; basal-like, n = 198; claudin low, n = 199). c Mean Gas6 mRNA expression across distinct molecular subtypes relative to normal-like breast tissues, using TCGA data set (normal-like cancers, n = 8; luminal A, n = 212; luminal B, n = 119; Her2, n = 55; basal-like, n = 87). Middle line is median, box borders are 25th to 75th percentiles and bars are minimum and maximum values. Significant p values are depicted in graphs b–c from one-way ANOVA followed by post hoc Dunnett’s multiple comparison test. ns not significant.
