Figure Lengend Snippet: Roles of DEK in gastric cancer stemness and peritoneal metastasis. (A) Correlation analysis between DEK expression and cancer stem cell (CSC) signature in the TCGA gastric cancer cohort. (B) Detailed correlations between DEK and the 16 individual members of the CSC signature. (C) Correlations between DEK and two key CSC markers, SOX9 (right) and YAP1 (left), in the TCGA cohort. (D) Assessment of DEK levels in AGS cells transfected with DEK-encoding lentivirus (DEK-OE) or vector, along with their expression levels of YAP1 and SOX9 . (E) mRNA levels of DEK , YAP1 , and SOX9 measured in DEK-OE and control cells by RT-PCR, standardized to the corresponding expression levels in control cells. (F) Tumor sphere formation abilities in DEK-OE and control cells. Photographs of tumor sphere formation at 3-day intervals are shown on the left and quantitative analysis are on the right. (G) Schematic representation of the peritoneal metastasis model using DEK-OE or control tumor cells in mice.
