Figure Lengend Snippet: CDK13 is a downstream target gene for the oncological role of CCNO in LUAD. (A) Heatmap of mRNAs in the H1299 cell line with stable knockdown of CCNO obtained from transcriptome sequencing by hierarchical clustering, identifying that CCNO alters the expression of genes associated with the cell cycle. The signaling pathways of genes altered by CCNO knockdown in cells are detected by microarray analysis. The length of the columns represents the number of genes. (B) Potential molecules bound to Flag- CCNO are obtained by liquid-phase mass spectrometry analysis of the contents of H1299 cells stably overexpressing Flag- CCNO . The height of the column indicates the abundance value of the contents. (C) Correlation analysis of CCNO with CDK13 at the mRNA level in matched LUADs in the GEO dataset. (D) Correlation analysis of CDK13 expression with CCNO in 94 matched LUAD patients by immunohistochemical staining analysis. (E) COIP demonstrates that CDK13 and CCNO can bind to each other intracellularly. (F) Silver staining assay. (G) Immunofluorescence shows that CCNO co-localizes with CDK13 in the nucleus (blue with DAPI means nucleus, green with CCNO antibody and red with CDK13 antibody, 400×). (H) Typical IHC images of CDK13 high and low expression in LUAD and para-tumors (7× and 40×).
