This was corroborated with our earlier report that Neu2 overexpression guides upregulation of Fas, FasL and FADD, leading to activation of caspase8 and Bid cleavage, thus inducing extrinsic pathway-mediated apoptosis not only in pancreatic [18] but also in ovarian cancer cells (personal communication). Here, NEU2 is linked to ovarian carcinoma.
