Figures & data
Notes: (A) Comparison of DNA methylation status of SOX1 and PAX1 in 166 CRC tissues and 37 normal tissues. P<0.05 was considered significant. (B) DNA methylation status of SOX1 and PAX1 in 37 CRC tissues and paired normal tissues. (C and D) Kaplan–Meier estimation of overall survival according to PAX1 and SOX1 methylation status in 166 patients. Median methylation status of each gene was defined as cutoff. *P<0.05 was calculated by independent sample t-test. **P<0.05 was calculated by Wilcoxon signed-rank test. AUC data shown as value (specificity sensitivity).

Notes: Comparison of DNA methylation status log (meth-index) of PAX1 (A) and SOX1 (B) genes in 41 CRC tissues and paired normal tissues. The AUC of the ROC curve was calculated to diagnose the CRC and normal tissues for PAX1 (C) and SOX1 (D). P-value was calculated by Wilcoxon signed-rank test.
Abbreviations: AUC, areas under the curve; CRC, colorectal cancer; PAX1, paired boxed gene 1; ROC, receiver-operating characteristic; SOX1, sex-determining region Y-related high-mobility group box 1.

Notes: (A) Dot plots illustrate the log (meth-index) distributions of PAX1 gene at various TNM stages. (B) The AUC of ROC curve was calculated to diagnose the TNM stage I/II and stage III/IV for PAX1. (C) Dot plots illustrate the log (meth-index) distributions of SOX1 gene at various TNM stages. (D) The AUC of ROC curve was calculated to diagnose the TNM stage I/II and stage III/IV for SOX1 gene. P<0.05 was determined by Mann–Whitney U-test. Arrows show the best specificity and sensitivity.

Notes: (A) Relative SOX1 and (B) PAX1 mRNA expression levels ± SEM in CRC tissues and paired normal tissues. Pearson’s correlation was used to measure the linear relationship between mRNA expression (x-axis) and methylation level log (meth-index) (y-axis) of (C) SOX1 and (D) PAX1 genes in 41 CRC tissues. P-values were performed by t-test.

Notes: (A) IHC staining of SOX1 protein expression in normal tissue samples. (B) IHC staining of SOX1 protein expression in CRC tissue samples. (C) IHC staining of PAX1 protein expression in normal tissue samples. (D) IHC staining of PAX1 protein expression in CRC tissue samples (×200).
