The overexpression of DLL3 in stomach-cancer cells could promote the proliferation of cancer cells, enhance the activation of Notch1/Notch2 signaling, induce the expression of IL-33, lead to the degradation of galectin-3–binding protein (LG3BP) and heat shock cognate 71 kDa protein (HSPA8), and result in elevated IL-1β, IL-12, and IL-10 secretion by macrophages. Here, HSPA8 is linked to gastric cancer.
