Using tighter cutoffs, we identified 72 and TMD8, which were cultured in Iscove’s modified Dulbecco genes that were significantly down-regulated (P < 0.0025; FDR < medium supplemented with either 20% human plasma or 10% 0.06) and 82 genes that were up-regulated (P < 0.00025; FDR < 0.02) across all time points after PTEN induction (paired t test FCS.
