From: The expression pattern of matrix-producing tumor stroma is of prognostic importance in breast cancer
Expression of prognostic signature genes in tumor stroma. The mRNA expression data from the xenografted tumors in [22] were downloaded. The RPKM data of a gene was divided by the total sum of RPKM in the sample and multiplied by 100,000. The normalized value was log2 transformed following addition of 1. The resulting values for the genes in the good (a) or poor (b) prognosis in each tumor are depicted. As a comparison, values of selected house-keeping genes or cancer-related genes are shown in (c). The correlation coefficients for each gene in the prognostic signatures with the ECM metagene in TCGA breast cancers are shown in (d)
