Identification of Key Pathways and Genes in the Orai2 Mediated Classical and Mesenchymal Subtype of Glioblastoma by Bioinformatic Analyses

Figure 5

Orai2 was associated with stemness and apoptosis via the JNK pathway. (a) Orai2 expression is relatively high in glioblastoma stem-like cell lines and neurospheres compared to conventional glioma cell lines and primary tumors from GEO profiles (GEO: GDS3885). (b) Expression heat map of Orai2 in GSC lines () and NSTC lines () from GEO profiles (GEO: GDS3885). Orai2 was significantly upregulated in GSCs relative to the nontumor stem cells (NSTC). Cluster analysis and Pearson’s correlation analysis in the Orai2 and (c, e) stemness and (d, e) apoptosis markers in TCGA datasets. (f) Schematic mechanism of the Orai2/JNK pathway signaling axis.
