TFCP2 Overcomes Senescence by Cooperating With SREBP2 to Activate Cholesterol Synthesis in Pancreatic Cancer

KRAS mutation is very common in pancreatic cancer. How pancreatic cancer cells overcome oncogene-induced senescence is not fully understood. Our previous studies showed that up-regulation of TFCP2 (transcription factor CP2) in pancreatic cancer promoted the growth and metastasis of pancreatic cancer...
