Open AccessTET1-mediated DNA hydroxymethylation activates inhibitors of the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway to suppress EMT in pancreatic tumor cells
Ten-eleven translocation 1 (TET1) is a dioxygenase that converts 5-methylcytosine (5-mC) to 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5-hmC) to induce DNA demethylation. TET1 has been reported to be absent in cancers, and to i...

Open AccessThe LIM protein Ajuba/SP1 complex forms a feed forward loop to induce SP1 target genes and promote pancreatic cancer cell proliferation
The aim of this study is to explore the molecular mechanism of the LIM protein Ajuba and the transcription factor SP1 in the pathogenesis and progression of PDAC. Ajuba is a newly defined transcriptional co-re...
