BMAL1 deregulation in colorectal carcinomas (CRC) is associated to epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT) and cancer invasiveness perturbations. (A) Boxplot of mRNA expression (Z-scores, RNAseq) in tumors of CRC with patients stratified on their BMAL1 quantification. (B) Enrichment for hallmark EMT gene sets in CRC tumors of patients with a high level of BMAL1 (NES: Normalized Enrichment Score). (C) Principal component analysis performed with EMT-enriched genes found deregulated in CRC tumor samples. (D) Expression heatmap of EMT genes connected to BMAL1 in CRC tumors. (E) Enrichment of multicancer invasiveness signature in CRC tumors of patients with a high level of BMAL1 (NES: Normalized Enrichment Score). (F) Principal component analysis performed with cancer invasiveness-enriched genes found deregulated in CRC tumor samples. (G) Expression heatmap of cancer invasiveness genes connected to BMAL1 in CRC tumors.
