SLC8B1 and breast cancer: In agreement with these findings, we found that transcript levels of stem cell markers NANOG, Oct4, Sox2, and Fox3, as well as regulators of the glutathione synthesis pathway implicated in regulating these transcription factors in breast cancer, SLC7A11 and GCLM (Lu et al., 2015), were significantly upregulated in NCLX KO cells (Figure 5H–J, Figure 5—figure supplement 1G–O).
