As this signaling pathway and c-MYC are also altered in a variety of other cancers such breast, cervical, lung, and prostate27 cancer, we investigated the common function of SSSCA1 in three different human cancer cell lines (HeLa cervical cancer cells, SW480 colorectal cancer cells, and LNCaP prostate cancer cells). The gene discussed is MYC; the disease is prostate carcinoma.
