Further analyses show that samples with high MYC, high mitochondria and fatty acid, but low glycolysis activity (‘low’ was defined approximately using the 40th percentile of the expression of each gene set across all samples) were enriched in hematopoietic stem cells and CD34+ cultured erythroblasts, as well as breast and prostate cancer tissues (Figure 7C). Here, MYC is linked to prostate cancer.
