Fig. 5From: Transcriptional factor six2 promotes the competitive endogenous RNA network between CYP4Z1 and pseudogene CYP4Z2P responsible for maintaining the stemness of breast cancer cellsTranscriptional factor six2 promotes the stemness of breast cancer cells in vitro. a Venn diagram showing the overlap of genes in MCF-7-Z1-UTR, MCF-7-Z2P-UTR, and MCF-7-six2 cells. b Pearson correlation of altered genes in MCF-7-Z1-UTR, MCF-7-Z2P-UTR, and MCF-7-six2 cells. c mRNA levels of six2 were examined in breast cancer and normal adjacent tissues via online deposited data (n = 1207, the error bars denote the ± SDs, P < 0.0001). d Six2 expression was evaluated in a tissue microarray including 30 breast cancer tissues and 30 normal adjacent tissues via immunohistochemistry analysis. e Heat map showing the mean expression values of genes related to stem cell pluripotency in MCF-7 cells with CYP4Z2P-3′UTR or CYP4Z1-3′UTR or six2 overexpression (fold change > 2 relative to MCF-7 cells, P < 0.05). f, g Enrichment of a stem cell signature according to a GSEA of genes regulated in MCF-7-six2 cellsBack to article page
