Abstract:Recent studies revealed that sox4geneexpresses abnormally in many kinds of tumor tissues and it probably involved in tumorigenesis, development and metastasis of cancer. Regulating proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis and other process may participate in the work mechanisms of sox4gene. Therefore, further studies about the relationship between sox4 gene and tumor would provide new ideas of exploring special diagnosis marker and novel target for tumor therapy.
