Fig. 7. High level of GDF15 glycoprotein expression is associated with poor survival of cancer patients.

A GDF15 level was determined by ELISA in serum samples from normal and patients with BPH, Localized PCa, or mCRPC. One-way ANOVA, p < 0.05. Data are expressed as mean ± std. B Prostate cancer patient overall survival curve in relation to GDF15 expression level was calculated using data from the Gene Expression Profiling Interactive Analysis (EGPIA) website. C Overall survival curves of lower grade glioma (LGG), mesothelioma (MESO), and uveal melanoma (UVM) patients in relation to GDF15 expression level were obtained from the EGPIA website. P-values were calculated using log-rank test; meta-analysis survival plots were generated using KM plotter. D Schematic graph depicts GDF15 inhibition of EGFR and N-glycosylation of GDF15 disables its suppressive effect on the EGFR pathway in CRPC cells.
