In addition to the induction of IFI27 gene, which is discussed above, IFI6 gene (coding for interferon alpha-inducible protein 6), being more than 10-fold induced upon chemerin treatment in all cell lines, was reported to affect IFNα-triggered regulation of apoptotic cell death in vitro, inhibiting cell death in gastric cancer cells [36] but promoting it in HEK293 cells [30]. This evidence concerns the gene RARRES2 and gastric cancer.
