Across TCGA patient cohorts, RNA activity of the Sphingolipid mediated signaling pathway pathway is significantly associated with the protein abundance of multiple proteins, with the OV cohort showing a particularly strong set of associations.
The most reproducible pathway-associated proteins across cancer lineages are SMPD3_S209, ZZEF1_S2049, and EZR_S536, each associated with the pathway in up to 4 cancer types. Since the analysis shows associations rather than directional relationships, both pathway-to-partner and partner-to-pathway views are reported.
Each partner is linked to its corresponding Q-omics profile. The scatter plot shows the strongest association, Sphingolipid mediated signaling pathway activity versus SMPD3_S209 in OV (Pearson r = 0.38).
