The transcription factor GATA‐6 is overexpressed <i>in vivo</i> and contributes to silencing 15‐LOX‐1 <i>in vitro</i> in human colon cancer
13 Dec 2006
Abstract excerpt
Transcriptional suppression of 15-lipoxygenase (LOX)-1 (15-LOX-1) helps enable human colorectal cancer cells escape apoptosis, a critical mechanism for colonic tumorigenesis. GATA-6 is strongly expressed in vitro in cancer cells; its down-regulation by pharmaceuticals is associated with reversal of 15-LOX-1 transcriptional suppression. The mechanistic contribution of GATA-6 overexpression to colonic...
