Figure Lengend Snippet: (A) Schematic of the in vitro phenotypic characterization of isogenic A549 ROY and LOY clones. (B) Dot plot showing the top 10 Hallmark gene sets with FDR<0.25 from preranked GSEA of RNA-seq data comparing A549 LOY and ROY under glucose deprivation. X-axis: normalized enrichment score (NES); y-axis: gene sets. Dot size indicates gene count; color represents -log 10 (FDR).

Dot size indicates protein count; color represents -log 10 (FDR). (D) Colony formation capacity under glutamine deprivation. Left: Boxplot of mean colony number (n = 3 technical replicates/clone). Right: Representative crystal violet-stained images. (E ) Normalized dose-response curves of four LOY (blue) and four ROY (orange) clones assessed 24 hours post-irradiation (0-40 Gy). Viability was measured in triplicate using CellTiter-Blue and fitted using non-linear regression. (F) Clonogenic survival following 10 Gy. Left: boxplots showing mean colony counts across two independent experiments (n=3 replicates/clone/experiment). Right: representative images from experiment 1. Note: For all boxplots, the center line represents the median, box limits represent upper and lower quartiles, and whiskers represent minimum and maximum values. Statistical significance was assessed using an unpaired t-test (α=0.05).
