Figure 1(a) shows that EIF3C was significantly upregulated in lung tumor tissues compared with that in normal lung tissues (p < 0.001). EIF3C expression in lung cancer cells was further evaluated by qRT-PCR assay.  Figure 1(b) indicates that EIF3C expression was the highest in H1299 cells, followed by that in H1688, A549, and H1975 cells. The gene discussed is EIF3C; the disease is lung carcinoma.
