Homeobox-Only Protein Expression Is a Critical Prognostic Indicator of Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumor and Is Regulated by Promoter DNA Hypermethylation
12 May 2016
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: We have identified homeobox-only protein (HOPX) as a tumor suppressor gene in various human cancer, and its expression was reduced by promoter DNA hypermethylation. Homeobox-only protein is strongly expressed on pancreatic islet cells; however, clinical relevance of HOPX expression has remained elusive in pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor (pNET). METHODS: We investigated 36 patients with pNET who...
