Six1 Overexpression in Ovarian Carcinoma Causes Resistance to TRAIL-Mediated Apoptosis and Is Associated with Poor Survival
1 Apr 2007
Abstract excerpt
Tumorigenesis can arise from inappropriate activation of developmental genes in mature tissues. Here, we show that the developmental regulator Six1 is overexpressed in ovarian carcinoma cell lines (OCC) compared with normal ovarian surface epithelium. As observed in other cancers, Six1 overexpression in OCC leads to increased A-type cyclin expression and increased proliferation. In addition, Six1 overexpression...
