Gene expression of single cultured CTCs. (A) Dendrogram and heat map analyses of Cq measurements of single cCTCs (n = 5). Each gene is measured in triplicate. Data are mean centered, with mean expression responses to zero. Yellow indicates high expression and blue color represents downregulation relative to the mean of the pool. (B) Bar graph showing significant differences in transcript expression between subgroup I (cCTC 1, 2, 3) and subgroup II (cCTC 4, 5) (* p < 0.05, *** p < 0.001).
