As constitutive expression of HOPX in human cancer cell lines including PC cell lines was infrequently found, RNA knockdown experiments was impossible to verify the endogenous role of HOPX in human pancreatic cancer cells, however we previously investigated RNA knockdown effects of HOPX by using esophageal cancer cells, TE15 that is a rare control cell which constitutively expressed HOPX [7,8], and tumor suppressive role was confirmed. Here, HOPX is linked to neoplasm.
