Overexpression of HOXA4 and HOXA9 genes promotes self‐renewal and contributes to colon cancer stem cell overpopulation
2 May 2017
Abstract excerpt
Because HOX genes encode master regulatory transcription factors that regulate stem cells (SCs) during development and aberrant expression of HOX genes occurs in various cancers, our goal was to determine if dysregulation of HOX genes is involved in the SC origin of colorectal cancer (CRC). We previously reported that HOXA4 and HOXD10 are expressed in the colonic SC niche and are overexpressed in CRC. HOX gene...
