OLR1 and cancer: Also, the meta-analysis of gene expression profiles of about 950 cancer cell lines, stored in the Gene Expression Atlas at the EMBL-EBI database (http://www.ebi.ac.uk/gxa/gene/ENSG00000173391#), reveals that LOX-1 is upregulated in 57% of bladder and cervix cancer cells, 11% of mammary gland cancer cells, 10% of lung cancer cells and, importantly, in 20% of CRC cells (3).
