qRT-PCR, western blotting, immunohistochemical (IHC) staining, and chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP)-qPCR assays were used to determine the regulatory effects of PHF8 on PD-L1, KRAS, BRAF, and c-Myc and the regulatory effect c-Myc/miR-22-3p signaling axis on PHF8 expression in CRC cells. This evidence concerns the gene CD274 and colorectal carcinoma.
