Across TCGA cell cohorts, CTSL RNA expression is significantly associated with the go_rna of many other GO terms, with 6,087 significant associations in total. BONE shows the largest number of these associations.
The most reproducible CTSL-associated GO terms across cancer lineages are Macrophage apoptotic process, Elastin metabolic process, and Receptor-mediated endocytosis of virus by host cell. Each is linked with CTSL in more than 15 cancer types. Because this analysis shows association rather than direction, both CTSL-to-partner and partner-to-CTSL results are reported.
Each partner links to its own Q-omics profile. The box plot shows the strongest example, Macrophage apoptotic process grouped by CTSL-low versus CTSL-high in LUNG_NSCLC_LUSC.
