Expression of the zinc-finger transcription factor Osterix (SP7) in invasive breast cancer and its prognostic significance
7 Apr 2025
Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Osterix, encoded by SP7, is a transcription factor crucial in osteoblast differentiation and bone formation. While initially characterised in bone development, emerging evidence suggests its involvement in cancer, particularly breast cancer metastasis to bone. METHODS: Osterix protein expression was evaluated in 1340 early-stage invasive breast tumours by immunohistochemistry. Cytoplasmic and...
