摘要: 作为一种同源盒转录因子,MEOX1可通过与基因组特异DNA基序相结合调控目的基因的表达。MEOX1在细胞增殖、迁移和分化中起关键作用,并参与胚胎发育中骨骼、肌肉、血管的形成。近年来研究发现,MEOX1在乳腺癌、肺癌、卵巢癌、前列腺癌等多种肿瘤组织中高表达,并与肿瘤患者的淋巴结转移和不良预后密切相关。同时MEOX1还可调控肿瘤细胞的增殖和迁移,提示其在肿瘤的发生发展中起重要作用。

Abstract: As a homeobox transcription factor, MEOX1 can regulate the target genes by binding the specific DNA sequence. MEOX1 not only plays essential roles in cell proliferation, migration and differentiation, but also participates in the formation of skeleton, muscle and blood vessel during embryonic development. Recent studies demonstrate that MEOX1 is over-expressed in breast cancer, lung cancer, ovarian cancer and prostate cancer tissues, which is closely associated with lymph node metastasis and poor prognosis in patients with cancer. Furthermore, MEOX1 can regulate the proliferation and migration of cancer cells, which suggests that it plays an important role in the occurrence and development of tumors.
