Overexpression of FHL2 in epithelial ovarian cancer has been reported.31 Our recent studies showed that overexpression of FHL2 in SKOV3 cells greatly promotes cell proliferation, while knockdown of FHL2 in SKOV3 cells using FHL2 shRNA induced drastic cell death (Hua et al., unpublished observation), suggesting that FHL2 also acts as a oncogenic protein in epithelial ovarian cancers. This evidence concerns the gene FHL2 and ovarian carcinoma.
