Overall, the patient outcome and the characteristics of breast tumours with LOX, LOXL1 and LOXL2 upregulation is distinct from those with high expression of LOXL3 and LOXL4. Additionally, the expression correlation between LOXs and other genes involved in cellular processes relevant for cancer biology, also reveals a similar trend for LOX, LOXL1 and LOX2. This work further supports the relevance of LOXL2 as a breast cancer progression biomarker and therapeutic target. Here, LOXL1 is linked to breast carcinoma.
