We analyzed change in mRNA level of Eif3h from datasets of colon tumors isolated from ApcMin/+ and AOM-treated mice (GSE5204), and found that Eif3h mRNA level was elevated in tumors of ApcMin/+ and AOM-induced mice compared with normal mice colon tissues (Supplementary Fig. 8a). This evidence concerns the gene EIF3H and infectious otitis media.
