Circular RNA circ_0004488 Increases Cervical Cancer Paclitaxel Resistance via the miR-136/MEX3C Signaling Pathway

Figure 5

Coexpression analysis of MEX3C in cervical cancer tissues. (a) Sequence alignment between miR-136 and MEX3C (target scan database). (b) MEX3C coexpressed genes in TCGA cervical cancer tissues were investigated using the LinkedOmics database. The correlation of MEX3C with genes expressed in the cervical cancer cohort was studied using the Pearson test. Heat maps depicting genes in cervical cancer tissues that are positively (A) and negatively (B) linked to MEX3C. (c) GSEA revealed that elevated MEX3C expression was linked to CSC-related signaling pathways in cervical cancer tissues.
