TORC1 inhibition, via loss of 4EBP1 phosphorylation, results in a decrease of MCL-1 protein expression in some cancers.
“TORC1 inhibition, via loss of 4EBP1 (also referred to as EIF4EBP1) phosphorylation, results in a decrease of MCL-1 protein expression in these cancers (37–40).”
From mTOR Inhibition Specifically Sensitizes Colorectal Cancers with KRAS or BRAF Mutations to BCL-2/BCL-XL Inhibition by Suppressing MCL-1 (2014) · cites this paper as [37]
The Results section on T-cell progenitor survival reports that Mcl-1 protein is elevated in AKTT thymocytes and returns to normal when a phosphorylation-defective 4EBP1 mutant restrains eIF4E activity. This supports the proposed 4EBP1–eIF4E–Mcl-1 link, but the Mcl-1 measurement is in thymocytes; it does not directly establish that TORC1 inhibition decreases MCL-1 protein in the cancers referenced by the citing sentence. (LLM, conf=0.86)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredEfficient translation of MCL-1 mRNA requires cap-dependent translation in some cancers.
“Previous studies had demonstrated that efficient translation of MCL-1 mRNA requires cap-dependent translation in some cancers (36–38).”
From mTOR Inhibition Specifically Sensitizes Colorectal Cancers with KRAS or BRAF Mutations to BCL-2/BCL-XL Inhibition by Suppressing MCL-1 (2014) · cites this paper as [37]
The Results section on Mcl-1 reports that its protein level, but not its mRNA level, rises in AKTT mouse thymocytes and that the increase depends on eIF4E activity. The paper also links oncogenic Akt to increased cap-dependent translation. It does not directly establish that efficient translation of MCL-1 mRNA requires cap-dependent translation in cancer cells; the Mcl-1 experiments described here concern thymocytes before tumor formation.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
