Adipocyte Derived Hormones Gene Expression Resistin and Visfatin in AGS Gastric Cancer Cell Line

摘要

BackgroundAdipose tissue has characteristics of an endocrine organ which releases a number of adipocyte-specific factors, known as adipocytokines. It has recently suggested that adipocytokines might play a role in pathogenesis and progression of certain cancers, especially in gastric cancer. This study has managed to investigate endogenous and/or exogenous expression of Visfatin and Resistin in gastric cancer cell line.
