In addition, when we evaluated the prognostic significance of mRNA expression of DEP-1, PTP1B, TC-PTP, and SHP-2 in gastric carcinomas by using OncoLnc database (http://www.oncolnc.org), higher expression of DEP-1 mRNA expression was associated with longer survival (Log-rank, P = 0.026) (Fig. 5). This evidence concerns the gene PTPN1 and gastric carcinoma.
