Proteins that we identified in the conditioned medium (Table S2) whose corresponding mRNAs are relatively highly expressed in ovarian cancer tissue include TIMP1, IGFBP3 (insulin-like growth factor-binding protein 3), MDK (midkine), PROS1 (vitamin k-dependent protein s) and SLPI (secretory leukoprotease inhibitor). Here, TIMP1 is linked to ovarian carcinoma.
