Abstract
Background: The molecular mechanisms mediating the oncogenic activity of the transcription factor GLI1 remain elusive. Results: GLI1 interacts with SMAD factors and PCAF to regulate TGFβ-induced gene expression. Conclusion: These results define a novel epigenetic mechanism underlying the role of GLI1 as an oncogene. Significance: This study increases our understanding of gene expression regulation in cancer cells and its potential impact in tumor development.
