Deskripsi

HOPX is a transcription factor epigenetically silenced in several cancers. Here the authors, by analysing methylation profiles, identify HOPX as a suppressor of metastasis in nasopharyngeal carcinoma: mechanistically HOPX inhibitsSNAILtranscription through deacetylation-mediated silencing.
