Core Tip

Core Tip: First, this is the first study reporting that canopy FGF signaling regulator 3 (CNPY3) was up-regulated in colon adenocarcinoma and might regulate tumor development and progression. Second, CNPY3 expression was validated in clinical samples and tumor cell lines. Third, functional experiments indicated that cell proliferation, invasion, and migration were inhibited and cell apoptosis was promoted after CNPY3 knockdown.
