Fig. 4. Correlation between AF1q and CD44 expression in CML cells.

Fig. 4

a Three differentially expressed genes (CD44, ABCB1, and MYC) and AF1q were detected by qRT-PCR to verify microarray analyses. b AF1q and CD44 levels in bone marrow samples from newly diagnosed CP CML patients (n = 72) were determined by qRT-PCR and normalized to β-actin. A positive correlation was observed between AF1q and CD44 expression in CP CML patients. c Heat map for AF1q and CD44 mRNA expression in CP CML patients (n = 72). Columns represented CML patients and rows represented AF1q and CD44 expression. Colors from dark to light indicated high to low relative expression of AF1q and CD44. d, e CD44 levels were evaluated in CD34+ and CD34 cells isolated from newly diagnosed CP CML patients (n = 13) by qRT-PCR and normalized to β-actin. Results were analyzed by unpaired (d) and paired (e) Student t tests. f A positive correlation was observed between AF1q and CD44 expression in CD34+ CML cells (n = 13)
