Figure 1. Overexpression of REV7 in glioma tissue. (a–b) The expression of REV3L and REV7 in the tumor tissues and adjacent tissues were obtained from the TCGA database. (c) The correlation analysis of REV3 and MAD2L2 was analyzed with TCGA database. (d) The mRNA expression of REV7 was measured by the quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction analysis. (e–f) The protein expression of REV7 was detected by western blot. * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, * p < 0.001. GBM,;T,;N,;TPM,;GAPDH, glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase
