    Thermo Fisher oncomine research premium edition database
    (A) Waterfall plot the most frequently mutated genes derived from whole exome sequencing of 102 treatment-naïve patients who had undergone radical prostatectomy. (B) Bubble plot of signaling pathways in which the SNV-affected genes from the same PCa patient cohort are enriched. Each bubble represents a pathway; the size corresponds to the number of genes affected by SNVs within that pathway, and the color indicates the number of patients affected. The x-axis represents the combined score, representing the significance and impact of the pathway mutations. Mutation impact ratings (high, moderate, low) were determined according to the Ensembl Variant Effect Predictor (VEP) classification. (C) THRB transcript levels across different cancer types (BLCA – Bladder urothelial carcinoma, BRCA – Breast invasive carcinoma, COAD – Colon adenocarcinoma, GBM – Glioblastoma multiforme, HNSC – Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, LIHC – Liver hepatocellular carcinoma, LUAD – Lung squamous cell carcinoma, OV – Ovarian serous cystadenocarcinoma, PAAD – Pancreatic adenocarcinoma, PRAD <t>–</t> <t>Prostate</t> adenocarcinoma, TGCT – Testicular germ cell tumors, THCA – Thyroid carcinoma), source: GEPIA. Patient numbers in each cohort are listed in the supplementary table. (D) THRB mRNA levels extracted using the <t>Oncomine</t> database from three different datasets: Grasso et al. (Normal n = 26, PCa n = 59), Luo et al. (Normal n = 15, PCa n = 15), Arredouani et al. (Normal n = 8, PCa n = 13). (E) Representative IHC staining of TRβ in normal prostate and PCa tissue, low expression depicts H-score 20, high expression depicts H-score 300, scale bar 100 µm. (F) Histological scoring of IHC staining of TRβ sowing significantly higher TRβ expression in PCa patients (n = 230 slides) compared to healthy control tissue (n = 142 slides).
