GATA6 and neoplasm: We also observed increased GATA6 protein levels by Western blot in pancreatic cancer cell lines with 18q11.2 gain, compared to pancreatic cancer cell lines without gain or to the nontumorigenic human pancreatic ductal epithelial line HPDE (Figure 2D), and by immunohistochemistry (IHC) in the parent tumor from which the B291 xenograft was derived (Figure 2E).
