CCN6 and neoplasm: Down-regulation of Cyr61 and up-regulation of WISP-3 were both found in lung cancer tissue compared with the corresponding normal lung tissue (both P < 0.001); The expression of Cyr61 was negatively correlated with the expression of WISP-3 (r=-0.395, P=0.003); Cyr61 expression levels was closely correlated with tumor grade, tumor type, clinical stage, family history, smoking and metastasis (P < 0.05).
