  1. Genes with significant correlations between their expression levels and apoptotic response to camptothecin in a panel of 30 colorectal cancer cell lines are shown in bold font.
  2. aThe relative mRNA levels are shown for the 34 genes with a difference in expression greater than four-fold in LoVo vs L2 and L3 in the microarray experiments (mean of two experiments).
  3. The relative expression levels are measured using quantitative real-time RT–PCR for 14 of these 34 genes.
  4. Pearson's correlation for gene expression and response to camptothecin in 30 colorectal cancer cell lines.
