STAT1 and gastric cancer: Previous studies have also reported high expression of SOX9, FOS, STAT1, and TIMP1 in GC tissues.[24, 25, 26, 27] Kaplan–Meier survival analysis further demonstrated that elevated expression of SOX9 and TIMP1 predicted poor prognosis, while higher STAT1 expression was associated with better outcomes (Figure S3C, Supporting Information).
