(A) Selected genes induced or suppressed by BCR-ABL by two-fold or more after 1 week of activation. Genes chosen for validation by Q-PCR are denoted by asterisks. (B) Q-PCR was performed in triplicate using RNA samples extracted from 2-4 distinct cell populations Mean fold-induction at 1 week compared to the expression at 0 h and standard error mean (SEM) are shown for each gene. A student t-test was performed to obtain P-values for the difference between the mean gene expression level at 0 h and 1 week. "I" and "S" denote "induced" and "suppressed", respectively
Although not selected for the validation study, Talin was previously reported to be induced in a BCR-ABL expressing cell line [31,32].
