In addition, although it was not in the spectrum of main interest, a set of potentially usable genes for distinguishing characteristically MSC lines from cancer lines was detected, including those of different embryonic origins such as FUT3, NOS2, COLEC10, TRPM8, CLDN1, MYO3B, CDH5, TM4SF1, SST, PTHLH, and NPPB. The gene discussed is NOS2; the disease is cancer.
