Knockdown of Gls1 increased the expression of Cdkn1a and Cdkn1b and decreased the expression of some critical oncogenes for cancer cell survival, such as c-Myc, Cdk4, and NfκB, as well as some genes which are essential for MM cell survival, such as Irf4, Prdm1, Csnk1α1, and Rassf5. The gene discussed is NFKB1; the disease is cancer.
