The apoptotic genes (Figure 4(e)) SPP1 and SFRP1 are candidate tumor suppressors for various cancers; AXL gene is a proto-oncogene, and NOL3 (ARC, apoptosis repressor with CARD domain) is induced in human breast cancer and confers chemo- and radiation-resistance (Mercier et al. 2005). This evidence concerns the gene SPP1 and cancer.
