Figure Lengend Snippet: The association of bile acid metabolism and Nottingham histological grade, MKi67 expression, Hallmark cell proliferation-related gene sets, intratumoral heterogeneity, HRD, and mutation rates. A. Box-and-whisker plots of bile acid metabolism score by Nottingham histological grade in the TCGA, METABRIC, and GSE96058 cohorts. Scatter plots show the correlation between MKI67 gene expression and the score. B. Dot plots show the gene sets significantly enriched in the low bile acid metabolism group (lower quartile) by GSEA in the TCGA, METABRIC, and GSE96058 cohorts. The horizontal scale and the color of each dot indicate normalized enrichment score (NES), and the size of each dot indicates false discovery rate (FDR). FDR less than 0.25 was considered significant. C. Box-and-whisker plots show intratumoral heterogeneity, homologous recombination defects (HRD), silent or non-silent mutation rate, and proliferation scores according to the high and low bile acid scores (upper and lower quartiles) in TCGA. Multiple group comparisons were performed using the Kruskal-Wallis test and two-group comparisons were performed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. The error bars in each boxplot show the 95% confidence interval. The line in the box shows the median, and the top and bottom show the 25th and 75th percentiles respectively.
Article Snippet: The analysis was performed using the java application GSEA v4.1.0 provided by the Broad Institute, and FDR less than 0.25 was considered significant according to recommendations.
