These data are in line with published RT-qPCR data obtained in a smaller series of human tumor samples (15), and corroborate reported findings of constitutive TDO expression in a number of established human tumor cell lines of various histologies, including glioblastoma, colorectal carcinoma, head-and-neck carcinoma, and gallbladder carcinoma (15, 24). This evidence concerns the gene TDO2 and glioblastoma.
