Tripartite motif-containing 44 (TRIM44) was found to be upregulated in 4 human laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) cell lines (AMC-HN-8, HEP-2, TU-212, and TU-686), and the knockdown of TRIM44 led to suppressed cell growth. The gene discussed is TRIM44; the disease is laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma.
