Cancer&Entry Information
| Cancer Name | nasopharyngeal cancer |
| ICD-0-3 | C11 |
| Methods | RT-qPCR, Western blot, Luciferase reporter assay, in vitro knockdown, RIP |
| Sample | NPC cell lines (C666-1, SUNE-1, CNE1, CNE2 and HNE-1) |
| Expression Pattern | up-regulated |
| Function Description | Mechanistically, SOX2 binds with ANRIL and increases its RNA level, which upregulates B-catenin signalling, resulting in enhanced nasopharyngealcarcinoma tumourigenesis. Expression levels of ANRIL are positively correlated with SOX2 and B-catenin in clinical nasopharyngeal carcinoma samples.The transcription factor SOX2 is widely recognized for its pivotal roles during mammalian embryogenesis. |
