Screenshot from the Anduril-generated web site. Genes are sorted in decreasing order according to the fraction of amplification ('Gain') in the GBM samples. The strongest amplified region in the GBM samples is 7p11.2. Interestingly, the expression values of the genes in the same genomic region vary significantly. For example, EGFR is amplified and has high fold change whereas LANCL2 is amplified and downregulated (panel A). The same phenomenon is seen in another amplified region 12q14.1 (panel B).

Screenshot from the Anduril-generated web site. Genes are sorted in decreasing order according to the fraction of deletion ('Loss') in the GBM samples. The strongest deleted region in the GBM samples is 9p21.3. The fraction of deletion varies from 35% to 69%.

The effect of gene silencing on cell proliferation. Control siRNAs (13 nM final concentration) were transfected with Silenfect (BioRad) transfection reagent to A172, LN405 and U87MG glioma cell lines and the SVGp12 control cell line. Cell proliferation was assayed 72 h after transfection using CellTiter-Glo Cell Viability assay. The proliferation data are presented as relative score to the mean of scramble siRNA-containing wells. Error bars indicate median absolute deviation.

The effect of gene silencing on caspase-3 and -7 activities. Control siRNAs (13 nM final concentration) were transfected with Silenfect (BioRad) transfection reagent to A172, LN405 and U87MG glioma cell lines and the SVGp12 control cell line. Induction of caspase-3 and -7 activities was detected 48 h after transfection with homogeneous Caspase-Glo 3/7 assay (Promega). The caspase activity is presented as relative median score to the mean of scramble siRNA containing wells. Error bars indicate median absolute deviation.
