EMILIN-2 expression is down-regulated in CRC. A EMILIN-2 gene expression levels in healthy (normal) and neoplastic (colorectal cancer) human samples according to the GEO public database (ID: GSE3629; healthy n = 53, neoplastic n = 68). B EMILIN-2 protein levels in healthy (normal; n = 100) and neoplastic (colorectal cancer; n = 97) human samples according to the cBioportal public dataset. C Evaluation of molecular and clinical parameters in relation to the levels of EMILIN-2 from the CRC patients’ cohort reported in B. Graphs in A and B represent the mean ± SD; P values were obtained using the paired Student’s t-test; ***P < 0.001
