RNA-seq of Tumor Initiating Cells (TICs) from Lung Squamous Cell Carcinoma (LSCC) lines reveals PRKCI dependent Hedgehog (HH) Signalling

RNA-seq analysis was performed on TICs and the parental counterparts of 4 LSCC cell lines. In addition, PRKCI knock down (KD) variants of these cells were sequenced. Subsequent analysis revealed that activation of HH signaling, a known driver of the TIC phenotype, is dependent on PRKCI expression. Examination of TICS, parental cells, parental PRKCI KD cells, and TIC PRKCI KD cells
