Interplay of ERα binding and DNA methylation in the intron-2 determines the expression and estrogen regulation of Cystatin A in breast cancer cells
2019-06-21
Abstract excerpt
Despite advances in early detection and treatment, invasion and metastasis of breast tumors remains a major hurdle. Cystatin A (CSTA, also called stefin A), an estrogen-regulated gene in breast cancer cells, is an inhibitor of cysteine cathepsins, and a purported tumor suppressor. Loss of CSTA expression in breast tumors evidently shifts the balance in favor of cysteine cathepsins, thereby promoting extracellular...
