Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, CENPP mass-spec protein differs between tumor and matched normal tissue in 2 of 18 cancer types tested, making tumor–normal expression one of CENPP’s most consistent transcriptional readouts.
The strongest signal is observed in lung squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC), where CENPP mass-spec protein is more highly expressed in tumor relative to normal tissue. In most cancer types CENPP is over-expressed in tumor.
LSCC and HNSC are the cancer types where CENPP tumor–normal differential expression is most reproducible.
