In six other diffuse-type GC derived cell lines (HSC-39, HSC-44, 44As3, HSC-58, 58As9, and KATO III), we further investigated the relationship between the expression status of two CXCL12/SDF-1 receptors (CXCR4 and CXCR7) and the accumulation of ascites in mice inoculated with the cancer cells intraperitoneally. This evidence concerns the gene CXCR4 and cancer.
