Figure Lengend Snippet: Figure 1. PLCB2 expression in malignant melanoma cell lines. (A) The heatmap analysis was performed by R software with wilcoxTest package (P<0.05 and log2 fold change >1) to illustrate miRNA expression profiles in the GEO database (GSE38290). (B) Volcano plot of DEGs. DEGs with log2 fold change >1.5 are shown in red. GSEA analysis was performed by Broad Institute website to show significantly enriched gene sets in melanoma mainly enriched in (C) cell growth, (D) regula- tion of MAPK cascade and (E) pathways in cancer. (F) The diagram of the PPI network. Co‑expression network of 11 genes. (G) Core protein histogram. The vertical coordinates are the gene names, and the horizontal coordinates are the number of adjacent genes, and the height represents the number of line connected genes. (H) mRNA expression level of PLCB2 in human melanoma cell lines was detected by RT‑PCR. GAPDH was used as a load control. Data are presented as the mean ± standard deviation. **P<0.01 vs. the NHEM cell group. PLCB2, phospholipase C β2; DEGs, differentially expressed genes; PPI‑protein‑protein interaction.
