Figure 1 The relationship between Mist1 expression and clinical pathology of cervical cancer. (A) Boxplot showing relative expression of Mist1 in tumor and normal tissues from TCGA-CESC patients via UALCAN. (B) Impact of Mist1 expression on overall survival in TCGA-CESC patients. (C) Impact of Mist1 expression on disease-free survival in TCGA-CESC patients. (D) Boxplot showing relative expression of Mist1 in nodal metastasis status (Normal, N0 or N1) from normal and CESC patients via UALCAN.

Figure 2 Functional annotations of Mist1 co-expressed genes and interaction proteins in TCGA-CESC. (A) Heat maps showing genes positively correlated with Mist1 in TCGA-CESC. (B) The scatter plot shows Pearson correlation of Mist1 expression with expression E-cadherin, N-cadherin, Snail and Vimentin in TCGA-CESC patients. (C) Protein–protein interaction network of Mist1 (GeneMANIA).
