Figure 3. RPS27A expression in CRC tissues. (A) RPS27A expression in tumors and corresponding tumor-adjacent tissue specimens from 46 CRC cases was quantified via qPCR and normalized to GAPDH expression. Fold-change was calculated using 2-ΔCt. The data are compared using a Student's t test and are shown as the means ± SD; ***P < 0.001. (B) The correlation between RPS27A expression and ApoM expression in CRC tissues was analyzed using the Pearson correlation method, and r is defined as the Pearson correlation coefficient. CRC, colorectal cancer; RPS27A, ribosomal protein S27a; qPCR, quantitative PCR; NC, negative control. ApoM affects the biological roles of Caco-2 cells through RPS27A.
