FIGURE 5.
Correlation analysis between LCN2, SLC22A17, and MMP9 gene expression and protein levels in tumor types. Protein-gene interaction showing correlation (Pearson’s r ≥ 0.3 or ≤ −0.3; p ≤ 0.05) in at least five tumor types are reported. The concordance among Pearson’s values was defined as the degree of agreement among the correlation sign. Partial concordance: dotted interaction lines. Total concordance: solid interaction lines. Proteins interacting with two genes are represented in blue, while proteins interacting with all three genes are represented in orange. The network was obtained from Cytoscape 3.8.2 (https://cytoscape.org/).
