Identification of MEGF11 in recurrent triple negative breast cancer. Using cDNA open array chips, 224 genes in paired TNBC tissue samples (16 recurrent and 24 non-recurrent tissues) were analysed, and MEGF11 was significantly upregulated in tumour tissues with subsequent clinical recurrence compared with those without recurrence (a). Protein expression by immunohistochemistry (b) was correlated with patient survival, including recurrence-free survival (c) and overall survival (d). The protein expression of MEGF11 was semi-quantified and expressed as (0), <10%, (1), 11–25%, (2), 26–50%, and (3)>50% of tumour cells. The MEGF11 expression level was defined as low (≤25%, n = 87) and high (> 25%, n = 48). Data are presented as the mean ± SD. Asterisks indicate a p value <0.05 by Mann-Whitney U test, and Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was performed with Prism 5 software.
