Therefore, the pattern of correlation between IL32 expression and a broad spectrum of genes encoding representative proteins implicated in cancer development, namely, IL4, IL4Ra, IL7, IL7Ra, IL10, IL10Ra, IL13, IL13Ra, ACTA2, BCL2, BCLxL, CCL2, CDKN1A, CLDN2, SLC2A1, HIF1A, Ki67, NOS2, ODC1, PTGS2, TJP1, and VEGFA, was examined in 45 cancer patients. Here, CLDN2 is linked to cancer.
