Using bioinformatics methods to elucidate fatty acid-binding protein 4 as a potential biomarker for colon adenocarcinoma

Figure 1 Diagnostic value of fatty acid-binding protein 4 expression in colon adenocarcinoma. A: Comparison of fatty acid-binding protein 4 (FABP4) mRNA expression levels in colon adenocarcinoma (COAD) tissues and normal tissues; B: Receiver operating characteristic curve for the diagnostic efficacy of FABP4; C: The FABP4 protein levels in COAD tissues and adjacent noncancerous colon tissues were determined via immunohistochemical staining at magnifications of × 100 and × 200. COAD: Colon adenocarcinoma; ROC: Receiver operating characteristic; AUC: Area under the curve.
