Snail-Induced Down-Regulation of ΔNp63α Acquires Invasive Phenotype of Human Squamous Cell Carcinoma
1 Oct 2007
Abstract excerpt
p63 is a member of the p53 family and regulates crucial events in the formation of epithelial structures, but the role of p63 in tumor is unclear. We found that Snail-induced epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is accompanied by down-regulation of p63 in human squamous cell carcinomas (SCC). DeltaNp63alpha is the predominantly expressed p63 isoform in SCC cells. DeltaNp63 promoter activity required a...
