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). The gene discussed is SLC38A2; the disease is colorectal neoplasm.
