ERG–SOX4 interaction promotes epithelial–mesenchymal transition in prostate cancer cells

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Approximately 50% of prostate cancer (PCa) patients in Western countries harbor ERG rearrangement with concurrent ERG overexpression. Overexpression of SOX4 has been shown to play important roles in multiple cancers including PCa. However, the link between these two critical genetic aberrations was unclear. METHODS: Fluorescence in situ hybridization and immunohistochemistry were utilized to detect...
