Abstract excerpt
Sox2 (sex-determining region Y-box protein 2) is a transcription factor regulating pluripotency in embryonic stem cells. Sox2 is aberrantly expressed in breast and other cancers, though its biological significance remains widely unexplored. To understand the significance of this aberrancy, we assessed the transcription activity of Sox2 in two Sox2-expressing breast cancer cell lines, MCF7 and ZR751, using a...
