Croxs (Calderon et al., 2012), Lcor (Yu et al., 2014), Nfil3 (Seillet et al., 2014a,b; Malishkevich et al., 2015), Adnp (Nakajima et al., 2008; Oz et al., 2012), and Tfdp1 (Vairapandi et al., 2002; Yasui et al., 2003; Lu et al., 2016) were upregulated in NLPs, and these genes have all been shown previously to have a stimulatory effect on the cell cycle or on the growth of some tumor cells and some normally proliferative tissues and/or on neurodevelopment and lymphoid cell development. This evidence concerns the gene NFIL3 and neoplasm.
