Figure 2. SOX2 positively or negatively correlated genes in the human non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cell lines.

Figure 2

Human non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cell lines (n = 105) were separated into two groups that have high RNA expression of SOX2 (HIGH, n = 20) or low expression of SOX2 (LOW, n = 85). The expression of previously reported SOX2 downstream or correlated genes was assessed as to whether the expression of those genes was correlated with that of SOX2. Two-tailed Welch’s t-test was used to determine the significance of gene expression between the two groups. Genes with significantly higher expression in the HIGH group (p < 0.05 and average expression >1) were considered as SOX2 positively correlated genes, while genes with significantly higher expression in the LOW group (p < 0.05 and average expression >1) were considered as SOX2 negatively correlated genes. The expression was measured in RPKM and quantile normalized. Results represent the mean ± S.E.M. *indicates p < 0.05, **indicates p < 0.01, and ***indicates p < 0.001.
