Androgens Induce Functional CXCR4 through ERG Factor Expression in TMPRSS2-ERG Fusion-Positive Prostate Cancer Cells
1 Jun 2010
Abstract excerpt
TMPRSS2-ERG fusion transcripts have been shown to be expressed in a majority of prostate cancer (PC) patients because of chromosomal translocations or deletions involving the TMPRSS2 gene promoter and the ERG gene coding sequence. These alterations cause androgen-dependent ERG transcription factor expression in PC patients. We and others have shown that chemokine receptor CXCR4 expression is upregulated in PC...
