MYC and hepatocellular carcinoma: Figure 5C shows the mean results of two independent experiments performed in triplicate. In the previous report mentioned, the authors investigated their promoter-reporter constructs in hepatocellular carcinoma cells. In addition, their reporter contained a putative c-MYC binding element, an E-box consensus sequence located in the PEG10 intron, considered to be responsible for increased PEG10 expression by c-MYC, whereas we analysed the PEG10 promoter activity upstream of the mTSS in HEK293 cells.
