Analysis of differentially expressed genes (DEG) determined by RNA-seq. DEG of LNCaP cells for DEG-photon A, DEG-12C-ion B and DEG-DHT C and in DU145 cells for DEG-photon J and DEG-12C-ion K. DEG are defined as log2FC ≥ 1; corrected p < 0.05. The log2-FC in the heatmaps with the corresponding volcano plots indicate treatment versus control (n = 3). Upregulated DEG are red, downregulated DEG are blue and non-significantly altered mRNAs are grey. D Correlation graphs of log2-FC of DEG-photon and DEG-12C-ion in LNCaP cells. DEG-photon that intersected with DEG-12C-ion are black (n = 577). Unique DEG-photon are orange (n = 232) and unique DEG-12C-ion are green (n = 220). E, F Correlation graphs of DEG-DHT that intersected with DEG-photon or with DEG-12C-ion. The same samples are plotted once with (log2-FC-photon) on the y-axis E and once with (log2-FC-(12C-ion) on the y-axis F. The majority of DEG-DHT were unique (n = 904, olive). A prominent fraction of DEG-DHT intersected with DEG-12C-photon (orange; n = 55), with DEG 12C-ion (cyan; n = 53) or with both (red; n = 292). GI Correlation graphs of merged DEG-photon, DEG-12C-ion and DEG-DHT that are restricted to those with high expression levels (top 50th percentile of all DEG) and strong fold changes (0.3 > FC > 3; adequately to (log2FC > 1.6) for at least one treatment. The samples are plotted with different XY-axes. G log2-FC of photon versus 12C-ion with Pearson correlation analysis (r = 0.9725, p < 0.0001). H log2-FC of DHT versus photon and I log2-FC of DHT versus 12C-ion. Respective unique and intersected DEG are assigned to different sample colors with the n-number in the legends. The names of strikingly altered DEG are indicated. L Correlation graphs of log2-FC of DEG-photon and DEG-12C-ion in DU145 cells. DEG-12C-ion (orange; n = 26) and DEG-12C-ion (green, n = 26) were all unique without intersection. Some DEG-photon in DU145 cells (n = 5) intersected with DEG-photon in LNCaP cells and are marked with an asterisk
