Consistent with the above findings in Figure 4G,H, scatter plots indicated that high expression level of FASN and CPT1A were significantly associated with an increased level of TAK1 among ovarian cancer patients (p < 0.001), further confirming the presence of an intimate relation among TAK1, FASN and CPT1A in regulating cellular lipid metabolism. This evidence concerns the gene MAP3K7 and ovarian carcinoma.
