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. This evidence concerns the gene NPPB and cancer.
