Higher expression of GPR160 in cancerous human prostate tissues and relationship between GPR160 expression levels and clinical characteristics of enrolled patients. a Images of GPR160 expression detected by RNAscope® (mRNA, FISH)) and immunohistochemistry (protein, IHC). HE, hematoxylin and eosin, scale bars, 50 μm. b 143 samples containing both normal and cancerous tissues used for mRNA analysis with paired t test. c 167 samples containing cancerous and 143 samples containing normal tissues used for mRNA analysis with unpaired t test. d 112 samples containing both normal and cancerous tissues used for immunohistochemistry analysis with paired t test. e 140 samples containing cancerous and 112 samples containing normal tissues used analysis with unpaired t test. Data presented are means ± SEM of up to three independent reading; ***P < 0.0001. f Gleason scores vs. GPR160 mRNA levels in the prostate cancer tissue. g Disease stage vs. GPR160 mRNA levels in the prostate cancer tissue. h PSA levels in patients with elevated GPR160 mRNA transcription. i Age-related GPR160 protein intensity. j M scores in patients with or without GPR160 protein expression.
