Consistently, bio-informatic analysis on gene expression data of 644 colorectal tumors downloaded from Genomic Data Commons (https://portal.gdc.cancer.gov/) showed that SPIN1 gene expression was correlated with genes (22 genes) enriched in p53 signaling pathway (Figure 6—figure supplement 4). These results demonstrate that SPIN1 can promote tumor growth and survival by inactivating p53 and its pathway (Figure 7). This evidence concerns the gene TP53 and neoplasm.
