SLC1A4 and renal cell carcinoma: After analysis of expression pre- and post-treatment with 5-AZA in up to 11 RCC cell lines, nine genes (ATF5, SLC1A4, ID3, STC2, DUSP6, SEMA3C, CD44, HMGA1 and IRF7) were excluded from further investigation as they were not commonly silenced in the pretreatment cell lines (data not shown).
