Transcriptional activation of the murine Muc5ac mucin gene in epithelial cancer cells by TGF-beta/Smad4 signalling pathway is potentiated by Sp1
1 Feb 2004
Abstract excerpt
The nucleotide sequence of the pMS1 clone was submitted to the GenBank Nucleotide Sequence Database under accession number AF288076. Changes in the expression of mucin genes in gastrointestinal cancers is thought to contribute to the development of the disease. In our laboratory we have shown previously that MUC5AC is aberrantly expressed in rectosigmoid villous adenomas. However, the regulatory mechanisms...
