In detail, gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) of the differentially downregulated genes in prostate cancer cells with DNA-PKcs knockdown revealed significant enrichment of genes regulated by MAZ (MYC Associated Zinc Finger Protein), MYC (Myelocytomatosis), and SP1, a well-characterized DNA-PKcs-interacting partner [7]. Here, PRKDC is linked to prostate carcinoma.
