Leptin–STAT3–G9a Signaling Promotes Obesity-Mediated Breast Cancer Progression
3 Apr 2015
Abstract excerpt
Obesity has been linked to breast cancer progression but the underlying mechanisms remain obscure. Here we report how leptin, an obesity-associated adipokine, regulates a transcriptional pathway to silence a genetic program of epithelial homeostasis in breast cancer stem-like cells (CSC) that promotes malignant progression. Using genome-wide ChIP-seq and RNA expression profiling, we defined a role for activated...
