Figure Legend Snippet: Correlation between AMIGO2 and EMT-related transcription factors in PAAD. (A) Protein expression of AMIGO2 in normal pancreatic tissues and PAAD tissues based on immunohistochemistry (IHC) images from the Human Protein Atlas (HPA). Representative IHC staining shows weak or absent AMIGO2 expression in normal pancreatic tissues (left) and stronger staining intensity in PAAD tissues (right). (B-G) Correlation analyses between AMIGO2 and key EMT-related transcription factors in TCGA-PAAD. Scatter plots show the Spearman correlation between AMIGO2 expression and ZEB1 (ρ = 0.27, p = 2.7 × 10⁻⁴), SNAI1 (ρ = 0.23, p = 1.8 × 10⁻³), SP1 (ρ = 0.40, p = 3.6 × 10⁻⁸), NFKB1 (ρ = 0.22, p = 3.8 × 10⁻³), RELA (ρ = 0.41, p = 1.8 × 10⁻⁸) and TWIST1 (ρ = 0.37, p = 4.1 × 10⁻⁷). (H) Correlation between AMIGO2 expression and immune cell infiltration across TCGA cancer types, including pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PAAD), pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma (PCPG), and prostate adenocarcinoma (PRAD), analyzed using TIMER2.0 with tumor purity adjustment. The heatmap displays partial Spearman correlation coefficients across multiple immune deconvolution algorithms. (I) Correlation between AMIGO2 and CD274 (PD-L1) expression in TCGA-PAAD, analyzed using GEPIA2 (Spearman correlation). Scatter plot shows a significant positive correlation (R = 0.34, p = 3.9 × 10⁻⁶), indicating that AMIGO2-high tumors exhibit elevated PD-L1 expression.

Figure Legend Snippet: AMIGO2 promotes migration and invasion by inducing EMT in pancreatic cancer cells. (A) Western blot analysis of AMIGO2 protein levels in MiaPaCa-2 cells transfected with two independent AMIGO2 shRNAs (kd-AMIGO2 A1 and kd-AMIGO2 B2) compared with control cells. α-Tubulin served as a loading control. (B) Western blot analysis of EMT markers showing that AMIGO2 knockdown upregulated E-cadherin and downregulated Vimentin expression. α-Tubulin was used as an internal control. (C) Representative images of wound-healing assays performed in MiaPaCa-2 cells after AMIGO2 knockdown, captured at 0, 24, and 48 h. (D) Quantitative analysis of wound closure rates (%) in MiaPaCa-2 control and AMIGO2-silenced cells. (E) Representative images of Transwell invasion assays showing a reduced number of invading cells following AMIGO2 knockdown. (F) Statistical quantification of invaded cell area (%) based on Transwell assays. ***, p<0.01.
