As we found that TALDO1 mRNA was positively correlated with SLC1A5 mRNA expression in luminal breast cancer (correlation coefficient = 0.23; P < 0.0001; Fig. 3e), we next tested whether depletion of SLC1A5 would affect the expression of TALDO1 in luminal breast cancer cell lines to confirm our findings from the network analysis. Here, TALDO1 is linked to breast carcinoma.
