AEBP1 promotes epithelial-mesenchymal transition of gastric cancer cells by activating the NF-κB pathway and predicts poor outcome of the patients
Abstract Adipocyte enhancer binding protein 1 (AEBP1) is a transcriptional repressor that plays a critical role in regulating adipogenesis. Recent studies have indicated that AEBP1 might function as a candidate oncogene and is overexpressed in several human malignancies. However, the role of AEBP1 i...
