Furthermore, DNTTIP1 or ELMSAN1 loss in mESCs did not alter the proliferation rate or cell cycle profile (Figure 1—figure supplement 3D and E), in contrast to the reported growth-promoting function of DNTTIP1 in oral and non-small cell lung cancer (Sawai et al., 2018; Zhang et al., 2018). This evidence concerns the gene MIDEAS and non-small cell lung carcinoma.
