Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Metastasis is responsible for a significant number of breast cancer-related deaths. Hypoxia, a primary driving force of cancer metastasis, induces the expression of BHLHE40, a transcription regulator. This study aimed to elucidate the function of BHLHE40 in the metastatic process of breast cancer cells. METHODS: To define the role of BHLHE40 in breast cancer, BHLHE40 expression was knocked down by a...
