Fig. 6. Developmental stomach and intestinal programs are enriched in Sox2high- and Cdx2high-expressing GI cancers, respectively.

(A) Top: Differential genes expressed in Sox2high, Sox9high, and Cdx2high human stomach cancer (STAD) transcriptomes are compared to our E16.5 GI RNA-seq profiles. Bottom: Gene set enrichment analysis reveals strong associations between Sox2high/Sox9high cancer genes and the E16.5 stomach profiles and between Cdx2high cancer genes and the E16.5 intestinal profiles. (B) Similar analysis conducted using human colon cancer (COAD) transcriptomes from TCGA shows the activation of stomach and intestinal lineage-specific genes in Sox2high/Sox9high and Cdx2high cancers, respectively.
