Instructively, MILIP expression was increased in cancer versus normal cell lines as shown in comparisons between human MDA-MB-231 breast cancer and U2OS osteosarcoma cells in addition to A549, HCT116, and MCF-7 cells compared with MCF10A and HME-1 cell lines (Supplementary Fig. 3a). This evidence concerns the gene MILIP and breast carcinoma.
