down regulation of gene expression.

Because DDX3 exhibits tumor suppressor functions, such as a growth - suppressive property and transcriptional activation
of the p21waf1 / cip1 promoter, and is inactivated through
down -
regulation of gene expression or alteration
of subcellular localization in tumor cells, all these features together suggest that DDX3 might be a candidate tumor suppressor.

gene expression, the current results await replication and extension using methods that can clarify whether the observed effects are associated with changes in
gene expression that would indicate up or
down regulation of TNF.
