The increased expression of ATOH1 mRNA after LKB1 loss from human Ls174t cells did not involve Notch or Wnt signaling. Knockdown of PDK4 reduced the up-regulation of ATOH1 mRNA after LKB1 knockdown in Ls174t cells. Cells with LKB1 knockdown had a reduced rate of oxygen consumption, which was partially restored by PDK4 inhibition with dichloroacetate, suggesting that LKB1 represses transcription of ATOH1 via PDK4.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
