TCF12 Protein Functions as Transcriptional Repressor of E-cadherin, and Its Overexpression Is Correlated with Metastasis of Colorectal Cancer
2 Dec 2011
Abstract excerpt
A correlation of TCF12 mRNA overexpression with colorectal cancer (CRC) metastasis was suggested by microarray data and validated by the survey of 120 patients. Thirty-three (27.5%) of the 120 patients showed tumor TCF12 mRNA overexpression and had a higher rate of metastatic occurrence (p = 0.020) and a poorer survival outcome (p = 0.014). Abundant TCF12 levels were also observed in human CRC cell lines such as...
