AVIL is overexpressed in other sarcomas, and its expression correlates with worse clinical outcomes. (A) cBioPortal analysis on AVIL gene. (B) Relative AVIL expression against GAPDH was measured by qRT-PCR and compared in RH30, A673, TTC-466, and TC32 (Ewing sarcoma), 402–91 (myxoid liposarcoma), JN-DSRCT (desmoplastic small round cell sarcoma), SUCCS-1 (clear cell sarcoma), A2243 (synovial sarcoma), and OsACL (osteosarcoma) cells. (C and D) GSEA analysis showed enrichment of Ewing family tumor signature (C) and EWS-FLI triggered Ewing sarcoma progenitor signature (D). (E) Clinical analysis using TCGA sarcoma dataset. A two-class model stratified by AVIL showed that the high AVIL group has a shorter overall survival. Data are presented as mean values ± SD in B, and P value was calculated by standard two-tailed t test. P values in E were calculated with two-sided Log-rank test. ***P < 0.001.
