Figure 1. The TUSC8 is significantly down-regulated in breast cancer tissues and predicts better prognosis of breast cancer patients. (A) The down-regulation of TUSC8 expression in breast cancer samples (n=1104) compared with adjacent normal breast tissues (n=113) in TCGA database. (B) The TUSC8 expression levels were significantly down-regulated in multiple breast cancer cell lines compared with normal breast cancer cell line MCF-10A. (C) The survival curves of TUSC8 in breast cancer TCGA and GSE96058 dataset by using the median cut-off method and optimal cut-off method (20^th percentage). (D) The expression levels of TUSC8 in different stages of breast cancer patients. The asterisks (*, **) indicate a significant difference (p < 0.05, p < 0.01) respectively.
