mRNA expression levels of astrogliogenesis-associated genes are high in DIPG. (A) In silico analysis of astrogliogenesis-associated gene mRNA expression in normal brain and DIPG tissues. (B) Relative STAT3 mRNA expression in normal brain and DIPG tissues. Each circle represents a tissue sample. DIPG, diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma; NOTCH1, Notch receptor 1; ID1, inhibitor of DNA binding 1; ACVR1, activin A receptor type I; HES1, Hes family bHLH transcription factor 1; SMAD1, SMAD family member 1; EP300, E1A binding protein p300; LIFR, LIF receptor subunit α; STAT3, signal transducer and activator of transcription 3.
