Analysis of the expression profile of Dickkopf-1 gene in human glioma and the association with tumor malignancy
28 Oct 2010
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Gliomas represent the most common primary malignant brain tumors, yet little is known about the molecular pathogenesis of these tumors. The highly-regulated Wnt signal transduction pathway is essential for normal developmental processes, and defects in the pathway are closely linked to oncogenesis. Dickkopf-1 (DKK-1) is a secreted protein that acts as a potent inhibitor of the Wnt pathway. The aim of...
