This is consistent with the results obtained by other researchers.6, 8, 19 They found that BHLHE41 suppressed cell invasion and metastasis in triple‐negative breast cancer, ovarian cancer and gastric cancer.6, 8, 19 These results indicate that BHLHE41 functions as a suppressor of cell invasion in various cancers. This evidence concerns the gene BHLHE41 and gastric cancer.
