Consistent upregulation of TFE target genes FNIP2, GPNMB, SQSTM1, RRAGC, GABARAP, ARHGAP12, AMDHD, WIPI1 and the more recently identified tumor growth-promoting TFE target RRAGD (not included in Figure 3A; Di Malta et al., 2017) was validated in all three FLCNNEG RPTEC clones using quantitative RT-PCR (Figure 3B). This evidence concerns the gene SQSTM1 and neoplasm.
