The relationship between CXCL12 mRNA expression and procancer pathways in locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC) (A) CXCL12 mRNA expression levels are significant prognostic factors for overall survival in GSE133057 (n=33, p = 0.047; log-rank test). (B) Correlation of CXCL12 expression with immune cell infiltration level in LARC. (C) Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) reveals correlation between CXCL12 expression and genes involved in epithelial-mesenchymal transition and angiogenesis. GSEA probing for enrichment of HALLMARK_EPITHELIAL_MESENCHYMAL_TRANSITION and HALLMARK_ANGIOGENESIS (READ, rectal adenocarcinoma).
