a Profiling of the drug-able kinome by MIB/MS analysis in HCC1143 cells identified 18 kinases with significantly reduced expression and/or affinity for Type I kinase inhibitor bait (p < 0.05) and 12 kinases with increased expression/affinity following siRNA-mediated silencing of SOX4 (n = 3, 96 h) relative to siControl-treated samples (n = 3); kinase enrichment score is shown in yellow and kinase depletion score in blue. b Differential gene expression analyses of RNAseq data for the significantly altered kinases from MIB/MS analysis from siSOX4- and siControl-treated HCC1143 cells (96 h); high mRNA expression is shown in red and low expression in green. c HCC1143 and d HCC1954 cells demonstrate significant reduction (unpaired t-test) in SOX4 (p < 0.0001; p = 0.019) and TGFBR2 (p = 0.014; p = 0.012) expression in siSOX4-treated cells compared to siControl-treated cell by qRT-PCR; data are presented as mean ± SD and normalized for GAPDH (n = 3). e HCC1143 and f HCC1954 cells showing reduced SOX4 and TGFBR2 protein expression by western blot analyses in siSOX4-treated cells relative to siControl-treated cells.
