Figure 4.
The STK4 gene expression pattern, obtained at the Broad Institute portal. (A) STK4 mRNA expression in various tumor cell lines, according to RNAseq.; (B) STK4 mRNA expression according to microarray studies; (C) the STK4 gene copy number ratio, calculated based on mRNA expression in normal tissue and cancer cell lines (16). Note that the highly expressed STK4 in Burkitt lymphoma has only 2 copies (20 × 2 = 2), while in solid tumors there is a gain in copy number values (up to 3 copies in EC cell lines: 20.75 × 2 = 3.3); (D) methylation of the STK4 promoter, obtained by reduced representation bisulfite sequencing (RRBS). The STK4 promoter methylation is quite high in EC, prostate cancer, and breast cancer cell lines, i.e., in hormone-driven cancers of the human reproductive system. RMA robust multichip averaging, relative units of the signal intensity (see detailed description at https://portals.broadinstitute.org/ccle). AML acute myeloid leukemia, T-cell ALL acute T-cell lymphocytic leukemia, NSC lung non-small cell lung tumor.
