Deskripsi
Distal-less homeobox 1 (DLX1) is reported as a prostate cancer (PCa) diagnostic biomarker, but the mechanism for its upregulation in PCa is unclear. Here the authors show that ERG, AR and FOXA1 transcriptionally regulates DLX1 expression in PCa, and the inhibition of this ERG/AR transcriptional circuitry with a BET inhibitor reduces the oncogenic effects of DLX1.
