Overexpression of FOXG1 contributes to TGF-β resistance through inhibition of p21WAF1/CIP1 expression in ovarian cancer
15 Sept 2009
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Loss of growth inhibitory response to transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) is a common feature of epithelial cancers. Recent studies have reported that genetic lesions and overexpression of oncoproteins in TGF-beta/Smads signalling cascade contribute to the TGF-beta resistance. Here, we showed that the overexpressed FOXG1 was involved in attenuating the anti-proliferative control of...
