NKX3.1 Suppresses TMPRSS2–ERG Gene Rearrangement and Mediates Repair of Androgen Receptor–Induced DNA Damage
14 May 2015
Abstract excerpt
TMPRSS2 gene rearrangements occur at DNA breaks formed during androgen receptor-mediated transcription and activate expression of ETS transcription factors at the early stages of more than half of prostate cancers. NKX3.1, a prostate tumor suppressor that accelerates the DNA repair response, binds to androgen receptor at the ERG gene breakpoint and inhibits both the juxtaposition of the TMPRSS2 and ERG gene loci...
