PTBP3-Mediated Regulation of ZEB1 mRNA Stability Promotes Epithelial–Mesenchymal Transition in Breast Cancer
29 Nov 2017
Abstract excerpt
Abstract The RNA polypyrimidine tract-binding protein PTBP3 is a little studied paralog of PTBP1, which has oncogenic properties. In this study, we demonstrate that PTBP3 induces epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT) in breast tumor cells and promotes their invasive growth and metastasis. Elevated expression of PTBP3 associated significantly with lymph node metastasis, advanced histology grade, TNM stage, and...
