Relevance of UTX expression in human CRC. a UTX mRNA levels in 30 matched tumour and paracarcinoma tissues (paired t test). b Boxed plot of UTX mRNA expression assessed by real-time PCR at different clinical stages. c Kaplan–Meier plot of overall survival of patients based on UTX levels. A log-rank test was used for statistical analysis. d UTX mRNA levels in different CRC cell lines. e UTX protein levels in different CRC cell lines. All the experiments were performed at least three times. Data are shown as the mean ± SEM. (*p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001, Student’s t-test)
