IDENTIFICATION OF JUND TARGET GENES FOR INHIBITION OF PROSTATE CANCER CELL GROWTH

摘要

This disclosure generally relates to the development of therapeutic and chemo-preventative strategies to prostate cancer initiation and carcinogenesis. Specifically, the disclosure relates to the role the JunD transcription factor plays in the deregulation of cell proliferation. The disclosure relates to a novel method of identifying JunD target genes and inhibiting the expression and/or function of the JunD target genes to interfere with the regulation of cancer cell proliferation and early stages of carcinogenesis.
