Combined analysis of eIF4E and 4E-binding protein expression predicts breast cancer survival and estimates eIF4E activity
14 Apr 2009
Abstract excerpt
Increased eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E (eIF4E) expression occurs in many cancers, and makes fundamental contributions to carcinogenesis by stimulating the expression of cancer-related genes at post-transcriptional levels. This key role is highlighted by the facts that eIF4E levels can predict prognosis, and that eIF4E is an established therapeutic target. However, eIF4E activity is a complex...
