Confirmation of genes differentially expressed in MDA-F471 Gprc5a−/− Kras-mutant LUAD spheres relative to parental cell counterparts. Differential expression of select genes MDA-F471 G1 spheres and parental cells (three biological replicates/independent experiments in each group and technical duplicates in each experiment) was confirmed by qRT-PCR and analyzed using 2−ΔΔCt method by normalization to the average of two reference genes (Gapdh and Tbp). Genes studied and depicted in the figure include those pertinent to stemness self-renewal (A), tumor-promoting inflammation and cytokines/chemokines (B), anti-oxidant function (C) and tumor-promoting mucins (D). Relative expression values are presented as means + SEM (n=3). (*P < 0.05; **P < 0.01; ***P < 0.001; ****P < 0.0001 by Student's t-test).
