MYC and non-small cell lung carcinoma: Q-RT-PCR analysis demonstrated that NSCLC-derived cell lines with activated AKT (A549, NCI-H460, NCI-H596, NCI-H226, CALU1) presented, on average, increased expression of HMGA1, FOS and MYC compared with cells with low AKT activation (NCI-H522, NCI-H23, BEN1).
