Expression profiles of thymus-specific ncRNAs in T-cell leukemia cell lines. Quantitation of each ncRNA by qRT-PCR is shown in the graph. The expression level of the cell line showing the highest expression was defined as 100%. Bars represent the means ± SD of three measurements. The following T-cell leukemia cell lines were used: 1, RPMI-8402; 2, H-SB2; 3, CCRF-CEM; 4, DND41; 5, HPB-ALL; 6, Jurkat; 7, MOLT-3; 8, TALL-1; 9, MOLT-13; 10, MOLT-16; 11, PEER; 12, HUT-78; 13, MOTN-1; 14, MT-1; 15, SKW-3; 16, HUT-102; and 17, MT-2. The cell lines are categorized into four types according to EGIL criteria (7). Type-T-II includes cell lines #1 and 2 (open graph bars); type-T-III includes lines #3 to #8 (black graph bars); type-T-IV includes lines #9 to #11 (light gray graph bars); and mature T includes lines #12 to #17 (dark gray graph bars).
