Abstract excerpt
Osteopontin (OPN) is a sialic acid-rich phosphoprotein secreted by a wide variety of cancers. We have shown previously that OPN is necessary for mediating hepatic metastasis in CT26 colorectal cancer cells. Although a variety of stimuli can induce OPN, the molecular mechanisms that regulate OPN gene transcription in colorectal cancer are unknown. We hypothesized that cis- and trans-regulatory elements determine...
