Specific overexpression of OLFM4<sup>GW112/hGC−1</sup> mRNA in colon, breast and lung cancer tissues detected using quantitative analysis
10 Jan 2007
Abstract excerpt
Overexpression of the olfactomedin 4 (OLFM4(GW112,/hGC-1)) gene was recently reported to inhibit various apoptotic pathways and promote proliferation of cancer cells, suggesting that OLFM4 might serve as a diagnostic marker for human cancers. Therefore, we examined cancer-specific OLFM4 overexpression. OLFM4 mRNA was highly expressed in cancerous tissues obtained from the colon, breast and lung. Positivity for...
