Mechanism Description	LDHB and PDHA1 were downregulated in GEO-CR tumor xenografts, similarly to the corresponding deregulations observed in the derived cell lines. Upregulation of G6PDH and transketolase (TkT) was also actually maintained in tumor xenografts. Indeed, PPP2CA expression in xenografted samples was similarly evaluated, demonstrating that protein downregulation in vivo was even more pronounced than that measured in GEO-CR cells.
