To examine the relevance of YAP and TAZ in the control of cellular quiescence and growth of disseminated colon tumor cells, we have compared expression of YAP/ TAZ and Ki-67, Cyr61, AXL, and CTGF using RT-qPCR in liver metastases resected from 70 colon cancer patients (Supplementary Table S1). This evidence concerns the gene AXL and malignant colon neoplasm.
