Fig. 5. NRIP3 upregulation confers resistance to chemoradiotherapy in ESCC.

a NRIP3-overexpressing and NRIP3-KD cells were treated with cisplatin, and cell viability was determined by cell growth assay. b Clonogenic survival analysis of 30-NRIP3 and 109-KD and the respective control cells (n = 3, *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01). c Representative images of cell colony formation after a radiation dose of 5 Gy for 30-NRIP3 and control cells, and 4 Gy for 109-KD and control cells. d Representative IHC images of NRIP3 in ESCC tumor tissues and paired nontumor tissues of patients receiving chemoradiotherapy (original magnification: ×200). e Overall survival analysis of the NRIP3 upregulation signature (SIT > SIN) in ESCC patients receiving cisplatin-based chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy (Kaplan–Meier analysis). f Overall survival analysis of the NRIP3 upregulation signature (SIT > 4) in patients with ESCC receiving CRT or not (Kaplan–Meier analysis) (top, without CRT; bottom, with CRT) (hazard ratio was calculated using log-rank test). g Schematic model of the functional role of the NRIP3-PPARα-DDI1-RTF2 axis in conferring resistance to replicative stress in ESCC.
