Relationship between the mRNA expression of CBXs and individual cancer stages of GC patients. The mRNA expression levels of 8 CBXs were remarkably related to individual cancer stages, and patients who were in more advanced stages tended to exhibit higher mRNA expression levels of CBXs. The mRNA expression levels of CBX1/3, CBX2/5, and CBX4/6 were the highest in stage 3 (A,C), stage 4 (B,E), and stage 2 (D,F), respectively. However, the mRNA expression levels of CBX7/8 were the highest in stage 1 (G,H). *P ˂ 0.05, **P ˂ 0.01, ***P ˂ 0.001.
