Fig. 1. SF3B4 is upregulated in ovarian cancer and correlates with poor prognosis.
A Venn diagram showing the classical RNA binding proteins from RBPDB, which are overexpressed in TCGA and associated with poor prognosis from CSIOVDB of ovarian cancer. B Kaplan–Meier analysis of the effect of IGF2BP2 and IGF2BP3 expression on the overall survival of ovarian cancer patients from CSIOVDB (n = 1868). C, D Kaplan–Meier analysis showed the effect of SF3B4 expression on the overall survival and progression-free survival of ovarian cancer patients from CSIOVDB and K-M plotter. The samples of overall survival and progression-free survival analysis from CSIOVDB were 1868 and 1516. The samples of overall survival analysis from K-M plotter were 1656. E Relative mRNA expression of SF3B4 in ovarian cancer (n = 426), normal ovary (n = 88) and fallopian tube (n = 5) tissues from TCGA-GTEX. F Relative protein expression of SF3B4 in ovarian cancer (n = 85) and normal ovary (n = 22) tissues from CPTAC-JHU. G Analysis of differential expression of SF3B4 across TCGA pan-cancers. H Genetic alterations of SF3B4 in ovarian cancer in the cohort from TCGA Firehose Legacy (n = 579). I Relative SF3B4 mRNA expression of samples with different copy number variation statuses from TCGA (Amplification: n = 50; Gain: n = 261; Diploid: n = 191; Deletion: n = 10). J Correlation analysis between SF3B4 amplification and mRNA expression in TCGA ovarian cancer samples (n = 512). K qRT-PCR analysis of SF3B4 mRNA expression between ovarian cancer (n = 14) and fallopian tube (n = 12) tissues. L Western blotting showed the differences in the SF3B4 protein levels between ovarian cancer (n = 8) and fallopian tube (n = 8) tissues. P value was obtained by Log-rank test (B, C, D) or Unpaired t-test (E, F, I, and K). *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01.
