The results of the RT-PCR experiments shown in Figure 1A demonstrate that the level of PLOD2 RNA was increased in CRC cell clones stably overexpressing L1 (Figure 1A, L1 cl1 and cl2), as compared to LS 174T cells expressing the empty pcDNA3 plasmid (Figure 1A, pcDNA3). This evidence concerns the gene PLOD2 and colorectal carcinoma.
