doi: 10.3390/ijms25168595
Figure Lengend Snippet: Genes repressed by EWS-FLI1 are enriched for ECM components in publicly available EWS-FLI1-knockdown data sets. ( A ) Plot demonstrating significant enrichment in ECM structural components among upregulated genes across three Ewing sarcoma cell lines (A673, EW24, and SK-N-MC) treated with shRNA or siRNA against EWS-FLI1 (ShinyGO 0.77, GSE7007, adjusted p -value < 0.05). ( B ) Plot demonstrating significant enrichment in ECM structural components among upregulated genes across four Ewing sarcoma cell lines (A673, MHH-ES1, SKNMC, and TC71) treated with shRNA or siRNA against EWS-FLI1 (ShinyGO 0.77, GSE164372, adjusted p -value < 0.05). ( C ) Plot demonstrating significant enrichment in ECM-related gene sets (ECM structural constituent, ECM-receptor interaction, focal adhesion) among significantly upregulated genes in CHLA-10 cells treated with shRNA or siRNA against EWS-FLI1 (ShinyGO 0.77, GSE113604, adjusted p -value < 0.05). ( D – F ) Plots demonstrating significant enrichment in ECM-related gene sets among significantly upregulated genes across a panel of Ewing sarcoma cell lines treated with shRNA or siRNA against EWS-FLI1 (ShinyGO 0.77, GSE176190, adjusted p -value < 0.05).
