In this study, 10 genes (p53, BCL-2, Bax, CCR10, DRD1, DUSP1, ITPR1, TNFRSF6, JAK2 and SMPD1) that are known to play important roles in regulating cancer cell apoptosis and migration were selected for use in detecting their differential expression using qPCR. This evidence concerns the gene SMPD1 and cancer.
