Disease relevance of GBX1

  • In the present studies, specific primer sets were designed for reverse transcription-PCR detection of the expression of GBX1 versus GBX2 in human prostate cancer [1].
 

High impact information on GBX1

  • Previously, we have demonstrated that GBX genes, a homeobox-containing human family of DNA-binding transcription factors consisting of GBX1 and GBX2, are overexpressed in a panel of human prostatic cancer cell lines (ie., TSU-pr1, PC3, DU145, and LNCaP) compared to normal prostate [1].
  • GBX1 and EN-2 have been mapped to chromosome 7q36 [2].
  • Northern hybridization of mRNA for various kinds of hematopoietic cell showed that the newly identified GBX1 gene is expressed in K562 cells and Daudi cells [3].
 

Anatomical context of GBX1

  • These studies demonstrated that the GBX2 gene, but not the GBX1 gene, is consistently overexpressed in this panel of human prostate cancer cell lines compared to normal human prostate [1].
