Meanwhile, we also detected the expression of EIF3A in other tissues, and found that it was low in para-pancreatic cancer tissues and high in para-colon cancer tissues (Figs. 1).Subsequently, EIF3A expression was detected in renal cancer cells and paracancerous tissues in our own paired samples of 30 patients, and the results showed that EIF3A was also highly expressed in paracancerous tissues compared to tumour tissues (Fig. 2e). This evidence concerns the gene EIF3A and familial pancreatic carcinoma.
