The effect of TE deletion on relative luciferase activity in MDA-MB-468, MDA-MB-231 and BT549 cells. Luciferase assays were performed for SYT1, UCA1, AK4 and PSAT1 in 3 independent experiments (n = 3) with triplicates. Bar graphs represent the mean relative luciferase activities, with white bars for wild-type and black bars for TE deletion. Error bars represent the standard deviations among independent experiments. The relative luciferase activity of TE-deleted constructs was compared against the corresponding wild-type using a one-tailed t-test, assuming equal variances. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001
