Expression of LincK in breast tissues and TCGA dataset. a Representative pictures of LincK scores detected by RNA Scope® technology. Breast tissues specimens consisting of normal, benign and invasive breast cancers (n = 87) were hybridized with probes against LincK (up), negative control (medium), and positive control (bottom). The brown dots indicated the target molecules (× 400 magnification). b Percentage of LincK scores (0, 1, and 2) in normal, benign, and malignancy breast tissues. c LincK expression was higher in breast cancer tissues compared with normal breast tissues from TCGA dataset. Significant differences were analyzed using the Welch two sample t-test (tumor, n = 1100 VS normal n = 112, p < 2.2e-16)
