Although the amplification of MYC genes in SCLC tumors are comparatively rare events (see e.g. PMID: 26168399) as compared to the frequent amplification of these genes in established cell lines, our data suggest that the phenotypes of cultured pan-MYC amplified SCLC cells mimics that of clinical SCLC and that MYC gene expression promotes glutaminolysis and lipogenesis. This evidence concerns the gene MYC and small cell lung carcinoma.
