To investigate the functional role of BNC1 in gastric cancer cells, its expression was assessed in the normal gastric epithelial cell line GES-1 and five gastric cancer cell lines—HGC-27, SNU-1, MGC-803, MKN-28, and AGS—using quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) and Western blot analyses (Figs. 2A–2C). The gene discussed is BNC1; the disease is gastric cancer.
