NUPR1 and pancreatic neoplasm: Finding a definite and unique answer to this question can be complex, since several different processes have been reported so far to give rise to cell-in-cells, including emperipolesis (Burns, 1967; Humble et al, 1956; Shamoto, 1981), heterotypic cell cannibalism (Lozupone et al, 2009; Lugini et al, 2006; Wang et al, 2009), homotypic cell-in-cells and/or entosis (Abodief et al, 2006; Gupta & Dey, 2003; Kojima et al, 1998; Kumar et al, 2001; Overholtzer et al, 2007), and the additional type reported here of Nupr1-repressed HoCC in pancreatic cancer cells.
