Our analysis identified a list of seven proteins specifically associated with homing and binding/adhesion of gastric cancer cells: fibronectin 1 (FN1), elastin microfibril interface-located protein 1 (EMILIN-1), interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-8 (IL-8), thrombospondin-1 (THBS-1), vitronectin (VTN), and C-X-C chemokine ligand-5 (CXCL-5). This evidence concerns the gene IL6 and gastric cancer.
