EEF2 and pancreatic neoplasm: To examine the role of eEF2 in cancer cell growth, either of two different shRNAs targeting eEF2 (shEF-1918 and shEF-2804) or a control shRNA targeting luciferase (shLuc) was transfected into four eEF2-expressing cells, lung cancer PC14, pancreatic cancer PCI6, fibrosarcoma HT-1080, and glioblastoma A172 and eEF2-undetectable breast cancer MCF7 cells.
