- 1 September 2007
The promise of retinoids as chemopreventive agents in breast cancer is based on the differentiation and apoptosis induced upon their binding to the retinoic acid (RA) receptor beta (RARbeta). We have… Expand
A role for the HOXB7 homeodomain protein in DNA repair.
- E. Rubin, Xinyan Wu, +10 authors S. Sukumar
- Biology, Medicine
- Cancer research
- 15 February 2007
Homeobox genes encode transcription factors which function in body axis patterning in the developing embryo. Recent evidence suggests that the maintenance of specific HOX expression patterns is… Expand
Hoxb7 inhibits transgenic HER-2/neu-induced mouse mammary tumor onset but promotes progression and lung metastasis.

- Biology, Medicine
- Cancer research
- 15 May 2008
Our previous studies have shown that HOXB7 mRNA is overexpressed in approximately 50% of invasive breast carcinomas and promotes tumor progression in breast cancer cells grown as xenografts in mice.… Expand
Identification of the messenger RNA for human cutaneous fatty acid-binding protein as a metastasis inducer.
- C. Jing, C. Beesley, +6 authors Y. Ke
- Biology, Medicine
- Cancer research
- 1 May 2000
Using our recently developed systematic differential display and complete comparison of gene expression approaches combined with other methods, we have identified a large number of mRNAs that are… Expand
Identification of Transcriptional Targets of HOXA5*
- H. Chen, E. Rubin, +5 authors S. Sukumar
- Biology, Medicine
- Journal of Biological Chemistry
- 13 May 2005
The homeobox gene HOXA5 encodes a transcription factor that has been shown to play important roles in embryogenesis, hematopoiesis, and tumorigenesis. In order to decipher downstream signaling… Expand
HOXA5-Induced Apoptosis in Breast Cancer Cells Is Mediated by Caspases 2 and 8

- 15 January 2004
ABSTRACT HOXA5 is a transcriptional factor whose expression is lost in more than 60% of breast carcinomas. Our previous work demonstrated that the overexpression of HOXA5 in MCF7 cells resulted in… Expand
Induction of apoptotic cell death and in vivo growth inhibition of human cancer cells by a saturated branched-chain fatty acid, 13-methyltetradecanoic acid.

- 1 February 2000
A saturated branched-chain fatty acid, 13-methyltetradecanoic acid (13-MTD), was purified from a soy fermentation product, which was used by many cancer patients as a treatment supplement. Our… Expand
Human cutaneous fatty acid-binding protein induces metastasis by up-regulating the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor gene in rat Rama 37 model cells.
- C. Jing, C. Beesley, +6 authors Y. Ke
- Biology, Medicine
- Cancer research
- 1 June 2001
Human cutaneous fatty acid-binding protein (C-FABP) gene is capable of inducing the metastatic phenotype when overexpressed in nonmetastatic rat Rama 37 cells. However, the mechanism of how it… Expand
ADP Ribosylation by PARP-1 Suppresses HOXB7 Transcriptional Activity
