Role of the <i>WWOX</i> gene, encompassing fragile region <i>FRA16D</i>, in suppression of pancreatic carcinoma cells
2 May 2008
Abstract excerpt
The WW-domain-containing oxidoreductase (WWOX) gene spans the common chromosomal fragile site FRA16D (16q23.2) and is believed to be a tumor suppressor in various human malignancies. We have previously shown frequent down-modulation of Wwox expression in pancreatic carcinoma (PC); however, biological function of Wwox in pancreatic duct carcinogenesis remains unknown. In PANC-1 (Wwox-negative) PC-derived cells,...
