In cultured human cell lines, MSX2 expression was found in pancreatic cancer cell lines while it was not observed in human normal pancreatic duct epithelial cell line (HPDE) nor in pancreatic stellate cells (PSC) (Table 1) (Satoh et al., 2008a, 2010, 2011). The gene discussed is MSX2; the disease is familial pancreatic carcinoma.
