Deletion, Methylation, and Expression of the <i>NKX3.1</i> Suppressor Gene in Primary Human Prostate Cancer
15 Feb 2005
Abstract excerpt
NKX3.1 is a prostate-specific homeoprotein and tumor suppressor that is affected by the loss of 8p21 in prostate cancer. In mice, Nkx3.1 haploinsufficiency results in prostatic dysplasia and complements cancer formation induced by loss of other suppressor genes. However, NKX3.1 expression can be immunohistochemically detected in most primary prostate cancers. We examined the relationship between suppressor gene...
