In q-PCR experiments conducted on tumor tissues and adjacent non-cancerous tissues from prostate cancer patients, it was found that: compared to the adjacent non-cancerous tissues, the expression level of ARHGEF38 in prostate cancer tumor tissues significantly increased, while the expression levels of SLC14A1, NEFH, MSMB, KRT23, and KRT15 significantly decreased. The gene discussed is MSMB; the disease is neoplasm.
