Research Abstract |
The TLS-CHOP fusion gene derived from chromosomal translocation is myxoid liposarcoma-specific oncogene. However, its oncogenesis mechanism and functions in tumor cells are still unclear. In this study, we have revealed that TLS-CHOP represses an anticancer cytokine MDA-7/IL-24 expression, and represses miR-486 that targets a tumor cell growth and metastasis activator PAI-1 In addition, a novel molecular pathway that induces expression of a tumorigenesis-related protein PRG4 has been suggested.
