MEIS1 and MEIS2 Expression and Prostate Cancer Progression: A Role For HOXB13 Binding Partners in Metastatic Disease

Abstract

Purpose: Germline mutations within the MEIS-interaction domain of HOXB13 have implicated a critical function for MEIS–HOX interactions in prostate cancer etiology and progression. The functional and predictive role of changes in MEIS expression within prostate tumor progression, however, remain largely unexplored.
