Piwil2 Suppresses P53 by Inducing Phosphorylation of Signal Transducer and Activator of Transcription 3 in Tumor Cells
27 Jan 2012
Abstract excerpt
Piwi proteins have been implicated in germ cell proliferation, differentiation, germline stem cell maintenance and transposon control in germline from Drosophila to mammals. The Piwi-like2 (piwil2) gene is mainly expressed in testis or embryonic cells among normal tissues but widely expressed in tumors. However, it remains to be fully determined through which mechanism piwil2 is involved in tumorigenesis. Here we...
