Article Title: Expression of CD44 is associated with aggressiveness in seminomas

doi: 10.1007/s11033-024-09638-8

Figure Lengend Snippet: CD44 is highly expressed in TGCTs. ( A ) CD44 is overexpressed in TGCTs and distinct subtypes, seminomas and NSGCTs ( B ) compared to normal tissue. CD44 expression in 137 patients with TGCTs (68 seminomas and 68 NSGCTs) and 165 normal tissues were obtained by GEPIA2 (Gene Expression Profiling Interactive Analysis 2, http://gepia2.cancer-pku.cn/#index , TGCT dataset, match TCGA normal and GTEx data). ( C ) Relative mRNA levels of CD44 in JKT-1 seminoma, NCCIT and NTERA-2/D1(NT2/D1), embryonal carcinoma cells. The data are presented as the mean ± SD values ( n = 3). Asterisk (*) indicates statistically significant differences ( p ≤ 0.05) compared to JKT-1 cells.
