Fig. 1. Lnc408 is upregulated in BCSCs.

Fig. 1

A The heat map showed the major dysregulated stemness-associated lncRNAs in BCSCs derived from epithelial or mesenchymal MCF-7 cells. The red or green dots indicated upregulated or downregulated lncRNAs, respectively. Data are shown as relative fold changes (>2.0) of MCF-7/Twist vs MCF-7/Vector. B Lnc408 expressions were proved by qRT-PCR analysis in non-EMT and EMT BC cells (SKBr3 as a control group, *P < 0.05). C qRT-PCR was used to assess the expression levels of lnc408, CD44, and SOX2 in BC tissues (n = 50). D, E qRT-PCR was conducted to determine the abundances of lnc408 in BCSC derived from BC cell lines and clinical BC samples (**P < 0.01). F Lnc408 expression was determined by qRT-PCR in different passage of BCSCs (P1 to P3; **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001). For qRT-PCR assays, all data are shown as means ± SD.
