Figure 6. CBFA2T3-GLIS2 AML have a distinct miRNA expression profile compared to the fusion-negative population and up-regulated miRNAs may inhibit tumor suppressor and apoptotic genes.
A) Volcano plot illustrating the over and under expressed miRNAs in CBFA23-GLIS2 compared to fusion-negative patients. B) The 5 most up and down regulated miRNAs ranked by absolute log2 fold-change. C) Predicted and validated miRNA-mRNA interactions with apoptosis and tumor suppressor genes found to be significantly down-regulated in CBFA2T3-GLIS2 cases.
