PIPKIγ Regulates CCL2 Expression in Colorectal Cancer by Activating AKT-STAT3 Signaling

Figure 1

Increased PIPKIγ expression positively correlated with TAM infiltration in CRC. (a) mRNA expression levels of PIP5K1C in CRC tumor tissue and corresponding nontumor tissue. (b) Correlation between PIP5K1C and specific gene signatures of B cells, CD8+ T cells, macrophages, mast cells, neutrophils, and T helper cells. (c) Immunohistochemical analysis of PIPKIγ expression and CD163 in a human CRC tissue microarray. Representative high and low PIPKIγ expression images are shown in the left panel, and the corresponding CD163 staining results are shown in the right panel. (d) The statistical results for PIPKIγ and CD163 tissue scores for low and high staining determined in the CRC cohort. Scale bar: 100 μm. , , .
