(E–F) Kaplan-Meier analysis of RAC2 expression in relation to clinical prognosis in patients with solid tumors, specifically COAD (E), and hematological malignancies, such as AML (F), as derived from TCGA dataset. The p value was calculated using the log-rank test. The results are representative of at least three independent experiments. Vertical bars indicate mean±SEM. Statistical significance between groups was assessed using the one-way analysis of variance with Bonferroni’s post-test, ns, not significant; *p<0.05; **p<0.01; ***p<0.001. AML, acute myeloid leukemia; COAD, colon adenocarcinoma; CFSE, carboxyfluorescein succinimidyl ester; DAPI, 4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole; FACS, fluorescence-activated cell sorting; IS, immunological synapse; MFI, mean fluorescence intensity; NK, natural killer; TCGA, The Cancer Genome Atlas; WT, wild type.
