Thus, in prostate cancer, CtBP1-regulated miR-34a modulates STMN1 expression and is involved in cancer progression through the CtBP1miR-34aSTMN1GDF15 axis.<b>Implications:</b> The CtBP1miR-34aSTMN1GDF15 axis is a potential therapeutic target for treatment of aggressive prostate cancer.<i></i>.
Stathmin/oncoprotein 18, a protein that regulates microtubule dynamics, is highly expressed in a number of tumors including leukemia, lymphoma, neuroblastoma, breast, ovarian, and prostate cancers.
We recently showed that adenovirus-mediated gene transfer of anti-stathmin ribozyme could suppress the malignant phenotype of prostate cancer cells in vitro.
