Abstract excerpt
Embryonal renal mesenchyme contains pluripotent progenitor cells characterized by expression of SIX2, which suppresses cellular differentiation. Additionally hypomethylation of the promotor region in renal neoplasms indicates a role of SIX2 in tumorigenesis. This study focuses therefore on the investigation of SIX2 in different renal neoplasms and the mode and consequences of SIX2 activation. Expression of SIX2...
