Crucial Roles of Sp1 and Epigenetic Modifications in the Regulation of the CLDN4 Promoter in Ovarian Cancer Cells
21 May 2006
Abstract excerpt
Claudins form a large family of tight junction proteins that have essential roles in the control of paracellular ion flux and the maintenance of cell polarity. Many studies have shown that several claudin family members are abnormally expressed in various cancers. In particular, CLDN4 (encoding claudin-4) is overexpressed in ovarian cancer. However, although CLDN4 overexpression is well established, the...
