Further, loss of OXPHOS genes SLC25A5, ATP6V1B1, B3, V0A4, and NDUFA4 may contribute to the self-sufficiency of the cancer cells with the ability to be less dependent on OXPHOS (2) The loss of tumor suppressor genes PTPRO, TFAP2A, CDKN1C, AIM1 and MT1G as well as other genes that were shown to suppress tumor growth in cancer cell lines but not yet identified as tumor suppressor candidates (RASD1, VDR, EHF, SPP1, ACPP, MT1F and ERBB4) contributes to insensitivity to antigrowth signals; (3) Evasion of apoptosis is mediated through loss of SPP1 and SFRP1, and activation of TUBB, NOL3 and EGLN3. This evidence concerns the gene SPP1 and neoplasm.
