Research Abstract |
Transcription factor SOX17 has shown to function as “tumor promoter” and also “tumor suppressor”, and the role of SOX17 in tumorigenesis has not yet been elucidated. In this project, the role of SOX17 in intestinal tumorigenesis has been examined by genetic studies. Disruption of SOX17 in Apc^Δ716 mouse model resulted in thickened gastric mucosa and significant increase of colonic polyps. These results indicate that SOX17 functions as tumor suppressor in colon cancer development.
