NPC1L1 expression in normal and CRC tissues. a NPC1L1 expression in CRC tissues as compared to that in normal tissues is presented as a box and whisker plot format. The numbers of normal and tumor tissues analyzed were 50 and 440, respectively. The mean value of NPC1L1 expression in normal tissues (blue box) was 7.00 and that in CRC tissues (red box) was 130.09. Significance was evaluated using the Mann–Whitney U test (P < 0.001). b Relative expression levels of NPC1L1 in tumor tissues (CRC) as compared to those in paired normal tissues are presented as a bar graph. The numbers of tumor and paired normal tissues analyzed were 35 (each). c NPC1L1 expression in CRC tissues as compared to that in normal tissues (GSE9348) is presented as a box and whisker plot format. The numbers of normal and tumor tissues analyzed were 12 and 70, respectively. The mean value of NPC1L1 expression in normal tissues (blue box) was 22.69 and that in CRC tissues (red box) was 81.35. Significance was evaluated using the Mann–Whitney U test (P = 0.014).
