Negative Regulation of the Antimetastatic Gene Nm23-H1 by Thyroid Hormone Receptors*
1 Jul 2000
Abstract excerpt
Metastasis of various malignant cells is inversely related to the abundance of the Nm23-H1 protein. The possible role of thyroid hormones in tumor metastasis has now been investigated by examining the effect of T3 on the expression of the Nm23-H1 gene. Human hepatoma HepG2 cells, in which endogenous thyroid hormone receptor subtype alpha1 (TRalpha1) is expressed at a low level, were stably transfected, either...
