SLC7A5 and colorectal neoplasm: Eventually, our in vitro findings are reinforced by the analysis of the TCGA gene expression datasets, showing that selected AATs (SLC1A5/ASCT2, SLC7A5/LAT1, and SLC38A2/SNAT2) are significantly upregulated in primary colorectal tumor tissues, compared with normal tissues (Fig. 7A–C).
