As well as our findings, Sun et al24 reported that DUXAP8 promotes cell proliferation and invasion through repressing EGR1 and RHOB expression in human non small cell lung cancer; Ma et al25 found that DUXAP8 promotes cell proliferation through epigenetically silencing PLEKHO1 expression in gastric cancer. The gene discussed is RHOB; the disease is non-small cell lung carcinoma.
