This finding is compatible with several previous studies revealing that AQP5-overexpressing cancer cells exhibit increased ability of cell proliferation and migration, e.g., chronic myelogenous leukemia [16], colorectal carcinoma [14], and non small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) [15]. The gene discussed is AQP5; the disease is chronic myelogenous leukemia, BCR-ABL1 positive.
