摘要:Our recent article reports the important suppressing role of MRTFB (myocardin-related transcription factor B) in colorectal cancer (CRC) and reveals several target genes of MRTFB’s transcription activity, including SPDL1 and MCAM (1). We initiated the study because Mrtfb was identified as a candidate tumor suppressor gene in a forward genetic screen using the Sleeping Beauty (SB) transposon system (2). We do not investigate whether single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) contributes to MRTFB’s function in CRC, as the SB transposon system does not generate point mutations (3). Zhao et al. (4) propose a new target gene, NOMO1 … [↵][1]1To whom correspondence may be addressed. Email: zwei{at}houstonmethodist.org. [1]: #xref-corresp-1-1
