Fig. 3From: Label-free quantitative proteomics reveals aberrant expression levels of LRG, C9, FN, A1AT and AGP1 in the plasma of patients with colorectal cancerScatter plots show relative expression levels of (A) LRG, (B) S100A8, (C) C9, (D) FN, (E) AGP1, and (F) A1AT from immunoblotting of individual plasma samples in the study-cohort and validation-cohort. All immunoblot results are provided in the supplementary data, Table S4 and S5. Green dots, Healthy control (HC); Red dots, Non-Metastatic CRC patients (NM); Blue dots, Metastatic CRC patients (M); Black dots, all CRC patients (CRC). Black lines represent the medians of samples in each group. Stars represent statistical significance calculated by non-parametric one-way ANOVA (Kruskal-Wallis) and Dunn’s multiple comparison test for the comparison among HC, NM and M groups; and non-parametric t-test (Mann-Whitney U test) for the comparison between HC and CRC groups. *, **, and *** represent p-value < 0.05, < 0.01, and < 0.001, respectively.Back to article page
