Here, we report that bromodomain-containing protein 4 (BRD4), a histone acetylation reader and emerging anticancer therapeutic target, promotes progression and metastasis of gastric cancer.
In the current study, comprehensive bioinformatic analyses were performed to develop a novel scoring system for GC risk assessment based on CAP-Gly domain containing linker protein family member 4 (CLIP4) DNA methylation status.
Although the significance of BRD4 in the epigenetic memory and cancer genesis has been intensively investigated, little is known about its function and potential roles during the generation and progression of gastric cancer.
