Figure Lengend Snippet: MATN1‐AS1 regulates E2F2 expression in ccRCC. (A) Heatmap showing DEGs expression profiles of 786‐O cells transfected with control (Control 1–3) or MATN1‐AS1 targeted sequence (sh 1–3). Data were normalised with FPKM. Results were filtered with p < 0.05, |log 2 FC| > 1. (B, C) GSEA of Control and MATN1‐AS1 knocked down groups. (D) Heatmap showing the expression level changes of the E2F family after knocking down MATN1‐AS1. Data were normalised with FPKM. (E) Co‐expression analysis of E2Fs with MATN1‐AS1 in TCGA‐KIRC dataset (Pearson correlation test). (F) Expression correlation between E2F2 and MATN1‐AS1 in TCGA‐KIRC dataset (Pearson correlation test). (G) E2F2 expression levels in ccRCC and normal tissues in the TCGA‐KIRC dataset (Data were normalised with log 2 (TPM + 1), Mean ± SEM, Wilcoxon test, *** p < 0.001). (H) E2F2 expression levels in ccRCC and normal tissues in the ICGC‐RECA dataset (Data were normalised with log 2 (TPM + 1), Mean ± SEM, Wilcoxon test, *** p < 0.001). (I) Overall survival (OS) curves of E2F2 in ccRCC (Log‐rank test, * p < 0.05). (J, K) GSEA between High‐ and Low‐E2F2 expression individuals from TCGA‐KIRC dataset. (L) E2F2 expression level changes after knocking down MATN1‐AS1. (M) Potential micro‐RNA links between MATN1‐AS1 and E2F2. (N) miR‐214‐5p expression levels in ccRCC and renal tissue from TCGA‐KIRC dataset ( p = 2.2 × 10 −13 ). (O, P) Binding sites schematic diagrams of miR‐214‐5p with E2F2 and MATN1‐AS1. (Q) Dual‐luciferase reporter assay results of MATN1‐AS1 and E2F2 (Mean ± SEM, Student's t ‐test, ns, no significance, ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001). (R) E2F2 expression level changes after being treated with miR‐214‐5p mimics.
