Finally, through a ChIP assay we observed for the first time that GABPA indeed binds the DICER1 promoter in FTC cell lines, which was expected given that previous results from our group displayed increased DICER1 transcriptional activity upon GABPA overexpression using a luciferase reporter in anaplastic thyroid carcinoma cells (Yuan et al. 2019). The gene discussed is DICER1; the disease is thyroid gland undifferentiated (anaplastic) carcinoma.
