Integrative genomic analyses of CXCR4: Transcriptional regulation of CXCR4 based on TGFβ, Nodal, Activin signaling and POU5F1, FOXA2, FOXC2, FOXH1, SOX17, and GFI1 transcription factors

Abstract excerpt

CXCR4, CD133, CD44 and ABCG2 are representative transmembrane proteins expressed on the surfaces of normal and/or cancer stem cells. CXCR4 is co-expressed with POU5F1 in endodermal precursors and adult-tissue stem cells. CXCR4 is expressed in a variety of human tumors, such as breast cancer, prostate cancer, pancreatic cancer, and gastric cancer. CXCR4 is a G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) for CXCL12 (SDF1)...
