Txr1: A transcriptional regulator of thrombospondin-1 that modulates cellular sensitivity to taxanes
Article Abstract:
The txr1, identified by DNA sequence, as putative protein of unknown function is shown as a transcriptionally down-regulating expression of anti-angiogenic and proapoptotic glycoprotein thrombospondin-1. The results show that trx1is a regulator of thrombospondin-1, mediated cell functions and suggest a potential approach for therapeutic modulation of these functions as well as potentiation of taxol effects.

Foxm1b transcription factor is essential for development of hepatocellular carcinomas and is negatively regulated by the p19(super ARF) tumor suppressor
Article Abstract:
The leading cause of cancer-related deaths-hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in relation with Forkhead Box m1b (Foxm1b) transcription factor is studied. The experiments reveal that Foxm1b transcription factor is required for proliferative expansion and constitutes a potential target for human HCC tumor therapy to reduce spread of liver cancer.

Conserved mechanisms across development and tumorigenesis revealed by a mouse development perspective of human cancers
Article Abstract:
A study on identification of common mechanism underlying organ development and primary tumor formation, using novel method, is conducted. Findings indicate that common programs underlie development and tumorigenesis.
