Abstract 2082: Control and function of the PROX1 transcription factor in malignant glioma

We present experimental evidence showing that PROX1 induces p27. By regulating p27, PROX1 may block the activity of Cdk2/Cyclin E complex, and thus inhibit cell cycle progression. The functional consequences of PROX1 expression on the stemness, migration, and invasion phenotypes of glioma cells remain to be further investigated and preliminary results will be presented.Citation Format: Kaveh M.
