Similar to the results we found in lung cancer tissues, in the lung cancer cell lines, the mRNA levels of ERGIC3 showed up to 44.9- (in SPCA-1), 61.4- (in EPLC-32M1), 60.8- (in GLC-82), 22.1- (in NCI-H446), 16.0- (in A549), 32.1- (in 801D) fold increase, compared to the immortalized normal bronchial epithelial cells, BEAS-2B. This evidence concerns the gene ERGIC3 and lung carcinoma.
