Fig. 4. KIT causes a shift from epithelial (CMS2) to mesenchymal (CMS4) phenotype.
A Differential gene expression analysis identified 19 overlapping genes that were significantly higher expressed in PDOs expressing KIT compared to those without KIT expression. B Scatter plots showing the correlation of the identified KIT-dependency gene signature with CMS1-4-identifying genes in the CMS-3232 CRC cohort [1]. Bar plot showing Pearson R values of (C). D Score for the KIT-dependency gene signature per CMS-annotated tumor in the CMS-3232 cohort.
