According to a study from Kyoto, Japan, "Deregulation of E2F1 transcriptional activity is observed in a variety of cancers, including hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The aim of the present study is to identify transcriptional target genes of E2F1 in HCC."

"We determined expression levels for E2F1 and ten candidate genes thought to be targets of E2F1 in primary HCCs using a real-time quantitative reverse transcription-PCR assay. Following small interfering RNA (siRNA)-mediated knockdown of E2F1 in HCC cell lines, we quantified mRNA levels of the candidate E2F1 target genes. E2F1 was significantly over-expressed in 41 primary HCCs as compared to non-tumorous liver...
