We also looked at other genes involved in pyruvate transport and metabolism and interestingly, MPC1, MPC2, PDHA1 and PC showed consistent downregulation in a specific subset of colon adenocarcinomas known as colon mucinous adenocarcinomas (AC) (n = 22) (Figure 6—figure supplement 1A). The gene discussed is PC; the disease is colon adenocarcinoma.
