Human platelet-derived growth factor A chain is transcriptionally repressed by the Wilms tumor suppressor WT1.
15 Nov 1992
Abstract excerpt
Wilms tumor, an embryonic kidney malignancy, accounts for approximately 6% of all pediatric neoplasms. A gene implicated in the genesis of this tumor, the Wilms tumor suppressor gene (WT1), encodes a zinc-finger DNA-binding protein (WT1) that functions as a transcriptional repressor. In certain Wilms tumors, the platelet-derived growth factor A chain (PDGF-A) is overexpressed; it has therefore been suggested that...
