Clinical relevance of YBX1, G3BP1 and SPP1 in primary RCC patients. (a) The expressions of YBX1, G3BP1, and SPP1 in 32 freshly collected clinical primary RCC (T) and paired adjacent normal kidney tissues (N). Upper panel: representative three pairs of western blot images. Lower panel: the expressions of YBX1, G3BP1, and SPP1 was quantified by normalizing with β-actin. (b) YBX1 levels were positively associated with G3BP1 and SPP1 expression in 60 primary RCC specimens. Representative cases are shown. Scale bar = 50 μm. Statistically significant differences were indicated: *, P < 0.05; ***, P < 0.001
