In cancer, the FOXO family of transcription factors functions as tumor suppressors and is directly inactivated by oncogenic signaling through the PI3K/AKT pathway. Now, Skykes et al. (2011) identify a paradoxical requirement for FOXOs in the maintenance of leukemia-initiating cells.
在癌症中,FOXO 转录因子家族作为肿瘤抑制因子发挥作用,并且通过 PI3K/AKT 途径被致癌信号直接失活。现在,Skykes 等人(2011)确定了 FOXO 在维持白血病起始细胞中的一个矛盾的需求。
