The expression of hTERT is independent from PPARγ. Genome-wide gene expression microarray data for 294 patients with early breast cancers from the NKI published dataset was used to measure the correlation between hTERT and PPARγ expression in A) all 294 tumor samples with early breast cancers (r = -0.1522)(p = 0.0089), B) 69 estrogen receptor negative tumors (r = -0.0807)(p = 0.5), and C) 225 estrogen receptor-positive tumors (r = -0.1563)(p = 0.0189).
