Figure Lengend Snippet: Differential calcium channel gene expression in TNBC TP53 mutant patient samples and cell line versus TP53 wildtype. ( A ) Differential expression analyses (DEAs) carried out using CCLE breast cancer cell line microarray data and TCGA patient sample RNA-sequencing data. (i) The CCLE volcano plot illustrates the DEGs (Dots) when comparing TNBC TP53 MUT (n = 20) vs. all BC subtype WT (n = 13) with 372 significantly upregulated (lfc ≥ 2, BH-adj. p -value ≤ 0.01) and 168 significantly downregulated (lfc ≤ −2, BH-adj. p -value ≤ 0.01) genes. and (ii) the TCGA volcano plot illustrates the DEGs when comparing TNBC TP53 MUT (n = 142) vs. all BC subtypes WT (n = 658) samples with 2282 significantly upregulated and 1389 significantly downregulated genes. ( B ) (i) Differentially expressed genes from the CCLE BC and TCGA BC analyses were cross-analysed using a Venn diagram to identify overlapping targets between datasets. (ii) Calcium channel genes were searched for in the overlapping targets, with only CACNA1D identified as significantly differentially expressed, with details displayed in a table with relevant lfc, p -value, and p-adj (BH-adjusted). ( C ) Bar graph displaying relative fold change of calcium channel gene expression in TP53 mutant TNBC cell lines HDQ-P1 (red) and MDA-MB-157 (blue) with respect to (w.r.t.) to TP53 wild-type TNBC cell line CAL-51 using qRT-PCR. ( D ) shows the gene expression of CACNA1D in expanded panel of TNBC cell lines include missense mutants, MFM223 and MDA-MB-468 (n = 4). Kruskal-Wallis with Dunn’s multiple comparisons was used to determine significance. ( E ) Table outlining the cell lines used in this study, including their corresponding TP53 mutation status and type, as well as associated p53 protein expression levels retrieved from the CCLE.
