The Germ Cell Gene TDRD1 as an ERG Target Gene and a Novel Prostate Cancer Biomarker
8 Jun 2016
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: TMPRSS2-ERG fusion occurs in about half of prostate cancers and results in over-expression of the oncogenic ERG protein in the prostate. The mechanism by which ERG contributes to prostate cancer initiation and progression remains largely unknown. Because ERG is a transcriptional activator, we reasoned that the target genes regulated by ERG could contribute to prostate cancer development. METHODS: In a...
