Abstract excerpt
The mechanism underlying loss of KAI1 gene expression in invasive and metastatic tumour cells is unknown. A possible scenario could involve altered expression or function of protein factors normally involved in regulating KAI1 transcription. To explore this possibility, we have initiated a study to characterise regulatory elements of the KAI1 promoter, using as a model, two bladder cancer cell lines (BL13 and...
