SETD4 expression in clinical lung cancer specimens is highly associated with advanced-stage disease. Representative IF images of SETD4/TTF-1 (a) from patients with different stages of LUAD and SETD4/p63 (b) from patients with different stages of LUSC. DAPI, nuclear counterstaining. Scale bar, 20 μm. (c) Statistical analysis of the proportion of SETD4-positive cells in tumor tissues from NSCLC patients at different stages. Statistical comparisons were performed using a two-tailed Student’s test. ; ; . Statistical analysis of the proportion of SETD4-positive cells in tumor tissues from patients with different histological types (d), sexes (e), and smoking histories (f). NS: no significant.
