Figure Lengend Snippet: Hierarchical clustering and correlation analysis of differentially expressed genes in miR-133 isoform-expressing SW48 cells. ( A ) Heatmaps showing hierarchical clustering of differentially expressed genes at three-fold change thresholds (>1.5, >2.0, and >3.0) for SW48-KI 133A1 , SW48-KI 133A2 , and SW48-KI 133B cells compared with parental SW48 controls. Rows represent individual genes, and columns represent two independent biological replicates. Red indicates upregulated genes, and blue indicates downregulated genes. At higher thresholds, core isoform-specific genes (labeled on the right) are highlighted. KI 133A1 and KI 133A2 show similar expression patterns, whereas KI 133B displays a distinct transcriptional profile. ( B ) Pearson correlation matrix (left) and scatter plots (right) of all biological replicates across samples. Strong correlations (r = 0.95–0.99) confirm high reproducibility between replicates and support the robustness of differential expression analysis. These results indicate that the observed transcriptomic differences among isoforms are biologically reproducible rather than experimental noise. Asterisks indicate statistical significance (*** p < 0.001).

Figure Lengend Snippet: Comparative GO and KEGG enrichment analysis of differentially expressed genes across miR-133 isoforms. The upper panel presents a merged visualization of enriched GO categories (BP: Biological Process, CC: Cellular Component, MF: Molecular Function) combining data from all three miR-133 isoforms in a single integrated bar plot. The lower panel displays KEGG pathway enrichment analysis. Bar plots show enrichment in SW48-KI 133A1 (red/pink bars), SW48-KI 133A2 (blue/light blue bars), and SW48-KI 133B (dark blue/yellow bars) compared with parental SW48 controls. For each isoform, darker-colored bars represent downregulated gene sets and lighter-colored bars represent upregulated gene sets. Bars are grouped by functional category to facilitate direct comparison across the three isoforms. The side-by-side presentation reveals highly convergent enrichment patterns across all three miR-133 isoforms, with consistent regulation of cell proliferation, metal ion homeostasis, extracellular components, protein binding functions, and cancer-associated signaling pathways.
