Phospholipase C and Ca++ signaling is enriched in AML1-ETO transformed LSCs. (A) Outline of the proteomic workflow. (B) Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) on murine MLL-AF9 (MLL9) and AML1-ETO (AE) LSCs (n = 4 per genotype). (C) Ingenuity pathway analysis (IPA) on murine AML1-ETO transformed LSC compared with MLL-AF9 positive controls. (D) Schematic of proteome analysis of primary human AML1-ETO/t(8;21) AML (n = 4 per genotype). (E) Molecular analysis of AML patient samples applied for proteomic analysis. (F) GSEA on human t(8;21) AML compared with non-t(8;21) controls. (G) t-SNE plot displaying the gene expression landscape of 641 AML patients of the HOVON cohort19 with an overlay of different AML subtypes (left) with absolute PLCG1 expression values (right). (H) PLCG1 protein expression in AML1-ETO positive (Kasumi-1, SKNO-1) vs AML1-ETO− human AML cell lines analyzed by intracellular flow cytometry (n = 5 per cell line; 1-way analysis of variance [ANOVA]). (I) Relapse-free survival (RFS, B) in patients with t(8;21) AML according to the expression level of PLCG1. Survival curves were estimated with the Kaplan-Meier method and compared using a log-rank test. (J) Scatterplot depicting PLCG1 expression levels in t(8;21) patients according to their relapse status (no relapse, n = 33; relapse, n = 27; unknown, n = 2).
