CFTR Expression Analysis for Subtyping of Human Pancreatic Cancer Organoids

Figure 3

CFTR and HNF1a expression correlate in human PDAC organoids. (a) Relative gene expression of HNF1A and CFTR in 10 analyzed human PDAC organoid lines. Organoids have been established from surgical resection specimens (DD314-DD442) or EUS-guided FNA samples (NR002-NR006). RT-qPCR data were analyzed by including the two housekeeping genes, GAPDH and ACBT1. (b) Calculation of the Pearson correlation coefficient shows a high linear relationship between the mRNA level of HNF1A and CFTR () within the analyzed PDAC organoid lines ( value = 0.001 (two-tailed), ).
