EGR1 and cancer: The asbestos‐induced increase in expression of IL‐8 and EGR1 seen here were similar to levels seen in the full transcriptome study.27 The characterization of the genomic and epigenetic landscape of mesothelioma using diverse high‐throughput technologies has been reviewed recently.34 It identified a vast spectrum of coding and non‐coding transcriptome changes driving mesothelioma development, but only a fraction of this landscape has been identified by specific mechanistic changes and several of these are common to human cancer development.
