Pituitary homeobox 2 (PITX2) promotes thyroid carcinogenesis by activation of cyclin D2
1 Apr 2010
Abstract excerpt
Pituitary homeobox 2 (PITX2), a Paired-like homeodomain transcription factor and a downstream effector of β-catenin signaling, plays substantial roles in normal embryonic development but its possible involvement in tumorigenesis was unknown. In this study, we extend its function in human cancer. Remarkably, we found that PITX2 was frequently expressed in human follicular cell-derived (papillary, follicular and...
