DNA Methylation of the SLC16A3 Promoter Regulates Expression of the Human Lactate Transporter MCT4 in Renal Cancer with Consequences for Clinical Outcome
24 Jul 2013
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: The monocarboxylate transporter 4 (MCT4) is a metabolic target in tumor biology because it mediates lactate transport across membranes resulting in antiapoptotic effects. Cell experiments support the importance of MCT4 in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). In this study, we assessed the prognostic potential of MCT4 expression in ccRCC and its epigenetic regulation by DNA methylation as novel...
