“…In addition, it is known as an acute phase protein, which is expressed in response to stressful conditions such as tissue injury, inflammation, or infection ( Lee et al, 2010 ). There are emerging evidences from proteomic studies that both the urinary and serum Orm1 may serve as predictors of therapeutic response and diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers for inflammatory diseases such as chronic heart failure ( Agra et al, 2017 ) and cancers such as bladder cancer ( Li et al, 2016 ), lung squamous cell carcinoma ( Ayyub et al, 2016 ), breast cancer ( Alexander et al, 2004 ) as well as hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) ( Falleti et al, 1993 ). However, the specific function of Orm1 under stresses has not yet been fully elucidated.…”
