Characterizing therapeutic signatures of transcription factors in cancer by incorporating profiles in compound treated cells

摘要

Motivation: Cancers are promoted by abnormal alterations in biological processes, such as cell cycle and apoptosis. An immediate reason for those aberrant processes is the deregulation of their involved transcription factors (TFs). Thus, the deregulated TFs in cancer have been experimented as successful therapeutic targets, such as RARA and RUNX1. This therapeutic strategy can be accelerated by characterizing new potential TF targets.
