YY1 Expression Was Positively Correlated with the Expression of Stemness Markers in Breast Cancer Tissues

(A) YY1 expression in breast cancer tissues and normal adjacent tissues via online clinical posited data. (B) Expression of YY1 and CSCs markers (ALDH1A1, OCT3/4) in breast tumor tissues and normal tissues was examined via western blot. Samples were derived from the same experiment and that blots were processed in parallel. (C and D) Correlation between YY1 expression and overall survival (C) and relapse-free survival (D) of breast cancer patients based on online KM-Plotter analysis. (E–H) Correlation between YY1 expression and the expression of ALDH1A1, OCT4, SOX2, and nanog via quantitative real-time PCR in breast cancer tissues. The data are presented as the mean ± SD, n ≥ 3.
