  • Title: Expression of the carcinoembryonic antigen gene is inhibited by SOX9 in human colon carcinoma cells.
    Author: Jay P, Berta P, Blache P.
    Journal: Cancer Res; 2005 Mar 15; 65(6):2193-8. PubMed ID: 15781631.
    Abstract:
    The human carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) is overexpressed in many types of human cancers and is commonly used as a clinical marker. In colon cancer, this overexpression protects cells against apoptosis and contributes to carcinogenesis. Therefore, CEA-expressing cells as well as CEA expression itself constitute potential therapeutic targets. In this report, we show that the transcription factor SOX9 down-regulates CEA gene expression and, as a probable consequence, induces apoptosis in the human colon carcinoma cell line HT29Cl.16E.
