To evaluate the expression levels of the 10 CBP genes (LOX, CP, F5, SPARC, LOXL3, ALB, AFP, ENOX1, SLC31A1 and SNCA) between the adjacent normal and GC tissues, we analyzed their mRNA expression levels in 15 normal and 35 GC tissues from our previous study [23]. This evidence concerns the gene SPARC and gastric cancer.
