Accordingly, we conducted a statistical comparison test between TIP30 mRNA and protein expression levels using a panel of 15 NSCLC cell lines, including squamous cell carcinomas (H157 and H520), adenocarcinomas (A549, H358, H441, H928, H1355, PC9, PC14, CL1-0 and CL1-5) and large-cell carcinomas (H460, H661, H1299 and PC13). Here, HTATIP2 is linked to adenocarcinoma.
