Figure 1: Unsupervised hierarchical cluster analysis of gene expression profiles of 26 GIST tumors. Each row represents the relative levels of expression for a single gene, centered at the geometric mean of its expression level across the 26 samples. Each column shows the expression levels for a single sample. The red or green color indicates high or low expression, respectively.
A: Overview of expression pattern of the 1875 genes used for the hierarchical clustering analysis.
B: The same clustering analysis is shown in more detail with a subset of genes that are differentially expressed in each GIST mutant subtype.

Figure 3: Representative TMA cores of KIT
exon 11, KIT exon 9 and PDGFRA mutants probed for DLK1,
MAP1B by ISH and CD34 by IHC. Corresponding case numbers are
given for each selected core. Insets in the figure show the
sense strand control probe. The complete dataset including
809 digital images is available at

Figure 4: Proteins relevant in KIT
and/or PDGFR signaling pathways were evaluated by
immunoblotting of whole cell lysates from primary GISTs with
KIT exon 9, KIT exon 11 and PDGFRA mutations. The proteins
were identified based on cDNA microarray evidence for
differential expression of the corresponding genes
(VIL2/ezrin, PRKCQ, PRKCA and P70S6K) in the various
mutation groups. Relative levels of ezrin expression are
shown beneath each band in the top panel.

Supplementary Table 1: A detailed table that
shows the site of origin and mutation type of the 127 GIST
cases on the TMA. Note that the expression of CD34 by
immunohistochemistry within the group of GIST cases with
exon 11 mutations is found in gastric but not small bowel
lesions. This is similar to results reported by Antonescu et
al. (Clin Cancer Research 2004, 10:3282-90) on gene array
findings but no correlation with mutation type was shown in
that report. Here we show that all PDGFRA mutated cases are
located in the stomach and that all are negative for CD34 by
IHC. Thus there is no absolute correlation between CD34
reactivity and tumor location in the stomach or small
bowel. A score of 2 represents strong positive, 1 for weak
positive and -2 for no staining. |

Supplementary Table 2: T7 promoter sequence (CTAATACGACTCACTATAGGG) was added to the 5' end of either forward or reverse primer to generate sense or antisense probes.

Supplementary Table 3: Nine genes described in the manuscript were measured by multiple cDNA fragments on the gene microarrays, as indicated by the clone ID. The number of cDNA fragments (Clone id in column 3) per gene ranged from 2-4. For each gene the expression levels across the tumors tested was highly similar for the different cDNA fragments such that in each case the different cDNA fragments were clustered together. This finding indicates a very high degree of correlation of the expression data within the dataset.
