Figure Lengend Snippet: a Comparison of CHSY1 gene expression in glioma subtypes and normal brain tissue in the REMBRANDT glioma microarray database. ** P < 0.01, **** P < 0.0001. b High expression of CHSY1 was associated with worse overall survival in glioma patients. The high and low expression groups were divided by median expression level of CHSY1 in 329 cases. These data were from the REMBRANDT database ( http://www.betastasis.com/glioma/rembrandt/ ). c Immunohistochemistry of CHSY1 (upper panel) and CS56 (lower panel) on tissue array contains 85 primary glioma cases. The staining was visualized in brown color with a 3,3-diaminobenzidine liquid substrate system. All sections were counterstained with hematoxylin. Representative images of four glioma cases with different staining intensities are shown. Amplified images are shown at the bottom right of each image. Scale bars, 50 μm. Arrows indicate positive stained glioma cells. d Representative images of CHSY1 staining on normal brain tissue ( n = 5). e Statistical analysis of immunohistochemistry in glioma tissue array. Mann–Whitney U -test was used. P -values are shown at top. f Expression of CHSY1 in glioma cell lines and normal human brain tissue. The protein expression was analyzed by western blotting. Total loading protein is shown at bottom. Relative expression levels to total brain tissue form three independent blots are shown at the right.
