CD44 Promotes Breast Cancer Metastasis through AKT-Mediated Downregulation of Nuclear FOXA2
The primary cause of breast cancer mortality is the metastatic invasion of cancerous stem cells (CSC). Cluster of differentiation 44 (CD44) is a well-known CSC marker in various cancers, as well as a key role player in metastasis and relapse of breast ...

Inhibition of mesodermal fate by Xenopus HNF3β/FoxA2
The winged-helix transcription factor HNF3beta/FoxA2 is expressed in embryonic organizing centers of the gastrulating mouse, frog, fish, and chick. In the mouse, HNF3beta is required for the formation of the mammalian node and notochord, and can induce ectopic floor plate formation when misexpressed in the developing neural tube; HNF3beta expression in

Neurogenin3 Cooperates with Foxa2 to Autoactivate Its Own Expression [PDF]
The transcription factor Neurogenin3 functions as a master regulator of endocrine pancreas formation, and its deficiency leads to the development of diabetes in humans and mice. In the embryonic pancreas, Neurogenin3 is transiently expressed at high levels for a narrow time window to initiate endocrine differentiation in scattered progenitor cells. The

Foxa1 and Foxa2 regulate bile duct development in mice [PDF]
The forkhead box proteins A1 and A2 (Foxa1 and Foxa2) are transcription factors with critical roles in establishing the developmental competence of the foregut endoderm and in initiating liver specification. Using conditional gene ablation during a later phase of liver development, we show here that deletion of both Foxa1 and Foxa2 (Foxa1/2) in the ...

Characteristics of expression of proteomic markers in women with “thin” endometrium and their importance for the therapeutic effects of the use of exogenous estradiol: A prospective cohort comparative study [PDF]
Aim. To analyze the relationship between the expression of proteomic markers [estrogen (ER) and progesterone (PR) receptors, LIF, FOXA1, FOXA2] of endometrial receptivity and indicators of the levels of sex steroids [estradiol (E2) and progesterone (P ...

FOXA2 controls the anti-oxidant response in FH-deficient cells
Hereditary leiomyomatosis and renal cell cancer (HLRCC) is a cancer syndrome caused by inactivating germline mutations in fumarate hydratase (FH) and subsequent accumulation of fumarate. Fumarate accumulation leads to profound epigenetic changes and the activation of an anti-oxidant response via nuclear translocation of the transcription factor NRF2 ...

Key transcriptional effectors of the pancreatic acinar phenotype and oncogenic transformation.
Proper maintenance of mature cellular phenotypes is essential for stable physiology, suppression of disease states, and resistance to oncogenic transformation. We describe the transcriptional regulatory roles of four key DNA-binding transcription factors

Vascular endothelium plays a key role in directing pulmonary epithelial cell differentiation. [PDF]
The vascular endothelium is critical for induction of appropriate lineage differentiation in organogenesis. In this study, we report that dysfunctional pulmonary endothelium, resulting from the loss of matrix Gla protein (MGP), causes ectopic hepatic ...
