Figure Lengend Snippet: A . Relative PTCH1 RNA expression in TNBC (red), Her2 (blue), luminal B (LB, green), and luminal A (LA, orange) in the TCGA cohort is illustrated by box plots (log 2 transformed). Outliers are shown within each population (open circles). Student’s t test was used to compare RNA levels between two groups. The p values are indicated (*P < 0.05; **P < 0.01; ***P < 0.001; ns P > 0.05). B . Normalized PTCH1 mRNA expression according to TNBC (IHC) status from all DNA microarray data from bc-GenExMiner v4.5 illustrated by box plots (log 2 transformed) (Jezequel et al 2021). C . Boxplots showing PTCH1 mRNA expression (normalized counts from RNA seq data) in circulating tumor cells (CTC) isolated from metastasis breast cancer patient peripheral blood (Wurth R et al 2025). D . High PTCH1 mRNA expression is associated with a poorer prognosis in breast cancer. Distant Metastasis Free Survival (DMFS) and disease-free survival (DFS) data based on PTCH1 mRNA expression were obtained using the exhaustive prognostic analysis on all status breast cancers on the bc-GenExMiner v4.5 web portal, and illustrated by Kaplan–Meier (KM) curves for all ER and PR breast cancers with positive nodules. The obtained Hazard Ratio (HR) with 95% confidence interval and log-rank p-values are shown.
Article Snippet: After 1 h at room temperature in blocking buffer (20 mmol/L Tris-HCl pH 7.5, 45 mmol/L NaCl, 0.1 % Tween-20, and 5 % non-fat milk), nitrocellulose membranes were incubated overnight at 4 °C with the monoclonal rat anti-PTCH1 antibody from R&D system biotechne clone 413220 (1/1000), the monoclonal mouse anti-P-gp antibody from abcam (ab3366, 1/1000), the rabbit anti-ABCG2 antibody from GeneTex (GTX50793, 1/500) or the rabbit anti-GAPDH antibody from Elabscience (1/20000).
