Our CTHRC1 protein expression data from various pancreatic cancer cell lines and PSCs showed that CTHRC1 expression was much higher in PSCs than most pancreatic cancer cell lines (MIA PACA-2, PANC-1, and CFPAC-1), except for BxPC-3, which expressed CTHRC1 at a rate almost twice as high as PSCs and almost 20 times higher than MIA PaCa-2. The gene discussed is CTHRC1; the disease is familial pancreatic carcinoma.
