Our findings are in agreement with a report by Zhong et al., showing that at steady state, DAXX was localised to the cytosol of splenocytes, but when DAXX expression was induced by Con A, DAXX was mainly localised to the nucleus.20 When Cos-1 cells were transiently transfected with vector expressing DAXX, its localisation was also found in the nucleus.20 In agreement with these findings, our data also showed that wild-type gastric cancer lines, AGS, N87 and MKN45, express different levels of DAXX. This evidence concerns the gene DAXX and gastric cancer.
