Reverse transcriptase-PCR (RT-PCR) and real-time PCR revealed thatS100A14 mRNA levels were abundantly expressed in ovarian cancer cell lines, except TOV112D, OVCA433, and YDOV-151, whereas S100A14 expression was almost undetectable in HOSE cell lines (Fig. 1A). This evidence concerns the gene S100A14 and ovarian carcinoma.
