The Daoy cell line is a widely used medulloblastoma cell line that was established from a posterior fossa tumor classified as the SHH subgroup and the elevated REST expression in this cell line has been reported in several studies (Fuller et al., 2005; Ivanov, Coyle, Walker, & Grabowska, 2016; Lawinger et al., 2000; Othman et al., 2014; Taylor et al., 2012). This evidence concerns the gene REST and medulloblastoma.
