Figure Lengend Snippet: a A sample of cores taken from a human colon cancer tissue microarray (TMA), with the same respective core stained for SRSF1 or PROX1 on different sections. Scale bar 500 µm. b Linear regression analysis showing the correlation of SRSF1 and PROX1 staining (based on histoscore) on the TMA shown in a , with each datapoint representing a core taken from a patient. c Relationship between SRSF1 immunohistochemistry staining and tumour stage in human patients, using TMA CO2081b, n = 54 vs 56 biologically independent tumour cores. d Representative images of patient-derived organoids (PDOs) treated with control or Srsf1 shRNAs. MD175 (polyp), MD20853 (CRC), MD20910 (CRC), MD19648 (FAP rectum Tumour), MD20043 (rectal carcinoma), C-002 (liver metastasis). Scale bar 1000 µm. e Number of surviving organoid clones after shRNA treatment and f size of indicated PDOs, n = 3 vs 3 independent experiments. g Viability of PDO MD20043 after Srsf1 shRNA treatment and h mRNA expression (qPCR) of indicated genes, n = 3 vs 3 independent experiments. i Model outlining the role of SRSF1 in modulating tumour cell plasticity and invasion in colorectal cancer. Data in bar charts are represented as mean and error bars are SD with data analysed with two-tailed, unpaired t- tests, p values are indicated in figure panels. All biological replicates are shown as individual value plots and n > 3. See also Figure .
