Expression of EIF4A2 is high in colorectal tumors and predicts poor survival of patients. a Data analysis of TCGA identified high EIF4A2 level was associated with poor prognosis in CRC patients. b, c The EIF4A2 mRNA level was significantly higher in CRC tissues than that of normal tissues in Notterman dataset and C-skyzypczak dataset from Oncomine (https://www.oncomine.com). d The EIF4A2 level was significantly higher in 152 human CRC tissues that of 72 normal tissues hospitalized in SYSUCC. e Representative images show low or high expression of EIF4A2 in CRC tumor tissues compared to adjacent normal tissues analyzed by IHC. The EIF4A2 expression was significantly higher in tumor tissues (**, P < 0.01). f The overall survival curve of 297 CRC patients with low and high expression of EIF4A2 were generated using the Kaplan-Meier method (log-rank test). g The disease-free survival curve of 245 CRC patients underwent curative surgery with low and high expression of EIF4A2 were generated using the Kaplan-Meier method (log-rank test)
