Research Abstract |
We focused on the Wilms' tumor 1 (WT1) gene, which may be associated with the cancer stem cell in ovarian cancers. Short hairpin RNA (shRNA)-mediated stable downregulation of WT1, caused an epithelial-mesenchymal transition. We also demonstrated that WT1 could regulate HtrA1 and modulate cisplatin-mediated cytotoxicity using ovarian cancer cells transduced with WT1 shRNA.
