NOL3, or ARC, also followed the same expressionpattern where, the expression of ARC gene was significantlyincreased among AML patients where 83.3% of the patients were expressing higherlevels of the ARC gene more than that of the individuals of the healthy groups.Similar to our data, a study by Wang etal. (2005) revealed that ARC was over-expressed in humancancer cells, where the quantified protein by western blot was over-expressed innine out of ten cancer cell lines representing pancreatic /colorectal /breast /lung/lymphoma /cervical /prostate /glioblastoma carcinoma. The gene discussed is ARC; the disease is acute myeloid leukemia.
