MED15 in prostate cancer – New diagnostic and predictive biomarker as well as therapeutic target in cancer
Experiments at the University of Bonn have shown that the expression of MED15, a subunit of the trans-criptional co-regulator Mediator, correlates with the proliferative activity of cells. MED15 is essential for TGF-ß-signaling and control of cholesterol/lipid homeostasis. The protein shows low frequency in androgen-sensitive prostate cancer and lacks expression in benign prostatic tissue.
