Up-regulated genes after coculture of CLL cells with NLCs

Gene name	No. of cases with more than 3-fold up-regulation	Mean up-regulation in 9 samples, fold change
CCL4	7	10.16
TNFRSF17	7	6.72
EGR3	7	5.97
CCL3	6	6.09
PSAT1	6	4.98

This table displays, in descending order, the top 10 genes up-regulated in CLL cells after coculture with NLCs. The left column displays the gene names. The middle column displays the number of CLL paired specimens that displayed a more than 3-fold gene up-regulation (of a total of 9 cases). The right column indicates the mean up-regulation of the genes in all 9 cases.

CCL4 indicates CC chemokine; TNFRSF17, B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA); EGR3, early growth response protein 3 gene; CCL3, CC chemokine; PSAT1, phosphoserine aminotransferase 1; MYCN, N-myc proto-oncogene; EGR2, early growth response protein 2 gene; KIAA0101, uncharacterized gene sequence; KMO, kynurenine 3-hydroxylase; and FCRL5, Fc receptor-like 5.
