Mesenchyme Forkhead 1 ( <i>FOXC2</i> ) plays a key role in metastasis and is associated with aggressive basal-like breast cancers
30 May 2007
Abstract excerpt
The metastatic spread of epithelial cancer cells from the primary tumor to distant organs mimics the cell migrations that occur during embryogenesis. Using gene expression profiling, we have found that the FOXC2 transcription factor, which is involved in specifying mesenchymal cell fate during embryogenesis, is associated with the metastatic capabilities of cancer cells. FOXC2 expression is required for the...
