In concert with these findings, overexpression of MUC1‐C was associated with increases in survivin mRNA levels as demonstrated in two samples obtained from bone marrows of patients with newly diagnosed AML (Figure 4D, E, Figure S2C) and an additional immortalized AML cell line MV4‐11/MUC1‐C (Figure 4F). This evidence concerns the gene BIRC5 and acute myeloid leukemia.
