Abstract excerpt
CUT-like homeobox 1 (CUX1) is a homeobox gene that is implicated in both tumour suppression and progression. The accumulated evidence supports a model of haploinsufficiency whereby reduced CUX1 expression promotes tumour development. Paradoxically, increased CUX1 expression is associated with tumour progression, and ectopic CUX1 expression in transgenic mice increases tumour burden in several tissues. One CUX1...
