Research reported that HBXIP showed a high expression in the colonic cancer cells (https://www.proteinatlas.org/ENSG00000134248-LAMTOR5/tissue) and we also found the different expression levels of HBXIP in the colonic cancer cells by RT-PCR assays (Supplementary Figure 1A). The gene discussed is LAMTOR5; the disease is malignant colon neoplasm.
