We found that VDAC1 was highly expressed in the serous and clear cell carcinoma cell lines (Figure 3b) and in the simvastatin-responsive cell lines 4C and 7C (Figure 3b), whereas it was expressed at low levels in the mucinous carcinoma cell lines (Figure 3b) and in the simvastatin-refractory cell lines 2C and 8C (Figure 3b). The gene discussed is VDAC1; the disease is mucinous adenocarcinoma.
