Article Title: Role of high ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme E2 expression as a prognostic factor in nasopharyngeal carcinoma

doi: 10.3892/ol.2022.13314

Figure Lengend Snippet: Increased expression levels of UBE2B in NPC tissues. Analysis of the public datasets (A) GSE12452 and (B) GSE68799 indicated increased expression levels of UBE2B in NPC compared to normal nasopharynx tissues. The heatmaps (left panel) present UBE2B transcription levels in each tissue sample and the scatter plots (right panel) indicate gene expression compared between normal nasopharyngeal mucosa and NPC tissues. The GSE12452 dataset contained mRNA signals from 10 non-NPC and 31 NPC tissues and the GSE68799 dataset contained 4 non-NPC and 42 NPC tissues. NPC, nasopharyngeal carcinoma; UBE2B, ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme E2 B.

Article Title: Role of high ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme E2 expression as a prognostic factor in nasopharyngeal carcinoma

doi: 10.3892/ol.2022.13314

Figure Lengend Snippet: UBE2B has an important role in the carcinogenesis of NPC cells. (A) Western blot analysis demonstrated that UBE2B expression levels were higher in TW01 cells than those in DOK cells. (B) Bar graphs indicated a higher UBE2B/actin ratio in TW01 cells compared with that in DOK cells. (C) Expression levels of UBE2B in NPC cells treated with control or UBE2B-targeting siRNA were determined using western blot analysis. (D) By using methylene blue staining, the numbers of colonies formed, which consist of at least 50 tumor cells, were manually recorded and compared. (E) Bar graphs indicated decreased numbers of formed colonies in UBE2B-deficient NPC cells as compared with UBE2B-proficient cells. At least three independent experiments were performed and values were expressed as the mean ± standard deviation. ****P<0.01 for NPC cells vs. DOK cells and siUBE2B vs. control. Fold changes in protein levels listed under each blot were normalized to the levels of the control counterparts and analyzed by using ImageJ densitometry analysis. NPC, nasopharyngeal carcinoma; UBE2B, ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme E2 B; siRNA, small interfering RNA.

Figure Lengend Snippet: UBE2B expression levels are a prognostic marker for patients with NPC receiving cisplatin-based chemoradiotherapy. Immunohistochemical analysis of UBE2B indicated nuclear and cytoplasmic staining in representative NPC cases with (A) low (H-score=125) and (B) high (H-score=375) expression (scale bars, 100 µm). (C) Survival analysis revealed that high expression of UBE2B was a prognostic marker for poor disease-specific survival, distal metastasis-free survival and local recurrence-free survival. NPC, nasopharyngeal carcinoma; UBE2B, ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme E2 B; Cum, cumulative.
