REST and breast carcinoma: Interestingly, the majority of included genes were significantly derepressed under REST knockdown in other cancer types, such as endometrial adenocarcinoma, GSE150254 [32, 33], and breast cancer, GSE173857 [34, 35] (Additional File 4: Table S3), suggesting they could be further validated as REST-controlled genes in other cancer types with known REST deregulation.
