Research Abstract

To investigate the function of PBX1 family and ELF2, transcription factors of metastasis-related molecule VCP, the present study was employed. Analysis of patients with lung cancer, esophageal cancer, and gastric cancer revealed the prognostic significance of PBX2.cDNA microarray analysis using pancreatic cancer cell line revealed the decrease of mitochondrial gene expression by Meis1 siRNA transfection, but not by PBX1, PBX2, Prep1, and ELF2 siRNA transfction.
