Abstract Gastric cancer (GC) is one of the most common cancers in the world. The cathepsin F (CTSF) gene has recently
been found to participate in the progression of several types of cancer. However, the clinical characteristics
and function of CTSF in GC as well as its molecular mechanisms are not clear. Six GC cell lines and 44 paired
adjacent noncancerous and GC tissue samples were used to assess CTSF expression by quantitative polymerase
chain reaction (qPCR). We used lentivirus-mediated small hairpin RNA (Lenti-shRNA) against CTSF to knock
down the expression of CTSF in GC cells.… More >
