Fig. 2. Grouped PCC and QCC populations exhibited distinct features and ATF3 is a hallmark of QCCs.

Fig. 2

A Scatterplot for hallmark pathways in the PCC population (Red dots indicate the top 3 significantly changed pathways). B GSEA enrichment profile of the top 3 altered hallmark pathways in the proliferated cell population, including Oxidative phosphorylation, MYC targets-V1, and Protein secretion. C Scatterplot for hallmark pathways in the QCC population (blue dots indicate the top 3 significantly changed pathways). D GSEA enrichment profile of the top 3 altered hallmark pathways in the quiescent cell population, including TNFα signaling via NF-kB, Hypoxia, and Cholesterol homeostasis. E Venn plot for overlapping genes involved in corresponding hallmark pathways in PCC and QCC populations. In the QCC population, ATF3, NFIL3 and PNRC1 are co-shared by the corresponding pathways: TNFα signaling via NF-kB, Hypoxia, and Cholesterol homeostasis. F Violin plots of gene expression of ATF3, NFIL3, and PNRC1 in Group 1 (PCCs) and Group 2 (QCCs) (****, p < 0.0001). G Expression levels of ATF3 and ATF4 in HCT116, HT-29, DLD-1 and HEK293T cells under both monolayer and MCTS conditions. H Immunochemistry staining for Ki67, p27 and ATF3 on HCT116 and HEK293T MCTS.
