Figure Lengend Snippet: The analysis of overall survival ( A ), progression-free survival ( B ), disease-free survival ( C ), and disease-specific survival ( D ) analysis of patients with KRAS-WT and -mutant CRC based on the Cbioportal database. ( E ) The proportion of each mutation subtype in KRAS-mutant CRC. ( F ) The proportion of patients with KRAS-WT and -mutant patients in each subtype of CRC. ( G ) The mutation event frequency of various genes in KRAS-WT and -mutant CRC. ( H ) Differentially expressed genes in patients with KRAS-WT and -mutant CRC. ( I ) ART1 mRNA levels in KRAS-WT and -mutant CRC tissues. P < 0.05 by t test. ( J ) The positive intensity of ART1 in KRAS-WT and -mutant CRC tissues detected by immunohistochemistry. Original magnification, ×20 (top) and ×40 (bottom). ( K ) The expression of ART1 protein in KRAS-WT (SW48, Caco2, HT-29) and -mutant CRC cell lines (LoVo, HCT-116, SW480) observed by Western blot. Immunohistochemical detection of the expression of GRP78/BiP ( L ), HSC70 ( M ), and CHOP ( N ) in KRAS-WT and -mutant CRC tissues. Original magnification, ×200 (left) and ×400 (right). ( O ) The expression of GRP78/BiP, HSC70, and CHOP proteins in KRAS-WT and -mutant CRC cell lines detected by Western blot. ( P ) Transmission electron microscopy shows the morphology of the ER (arrows) in KRAS-WT and -mutant CRC cell lines. Original magnification, ×25,000.
