STIL and non-small cell lung carcinoma: Additionally, since the GEO data (GSE75037) contained a large number of matched pairs (i.e., matched non-tumorous and tumorous tissues) of NSCLC [34], we examined STIL expression and found that STIL mRNA expression levels were significantly higher in cancerous tissues than in matched non-cancerous lung tissues (p < 0.0001 by Wilcoxon’s signed-rank test) (Supplementary Figure S2).
