Hierarchical clustering analysis of PDCs for expression of CAF and EMT associated-genes. a A list of 31 CAF associated-genes was used for clustering analysis of PDCs. The dendrogram showed the similarity of the non-tumorigenic PDCs and confirmed their CAF-like nature with upregulation of ACTA2, MYH9, and COL4A1. CM04-PDC does not show this CAF expression signature. b A dendrogram demonstrated an EMT signature for CM01, 02, 03, and 08-PDCs evidenced by upregulation of COL3A1, COL1A2, COL4A1, ITGB1, SPARC, ITGA5, VIM, and low expression of CDH1 and OCLN. CM04-PDC does not display this EMT signature
