Myc-MOAP-1 was transiently expressed in DAOY medulloblastoma cells, SKOV3 (stable expression, ovarian cancer) (Fig. 7, A and B), or H1299 (stable expression, lung cancer, Fig. 7, C and D) and transiently in HCT116 colon cancer cells (Fig. 8, A and B). This evidence concerns the gene MOAP1 and malignant colon neoplasm.
