Abstract excerpt
EGR-1, a transcription factor with important functions in the regulation of growth and differentiation, is highly expressed in brain. Previous studies have shown that EGR-1 suppresses the transformed phenotype. However, the expression and role of EGR-1 in human glioblastoma cells are not yet determined. In this study, we found that the basal expression of the EGR-1 protein is undetectable, but is inducible in...
