Downregulation of FOXO3a by DNMT1 promotes breast cancer stem cell properties and tumorigenesis
11 Jul 2019
Abstract excerpt
Breast cancer stem cells (BCSCs) are tumor initiating cells that can self-renew and are highly tumorigenic and chemoresistant. Therefore, the identification of factors critical for BCSC function is vital for the development of therapies. Here, we report that DNMT1-mediated FOXO3a promoter hypermethylation leads to downregulation of FOXO3a expression in breast cancer. FOXO3a is functionally related to the...
