Aberrant expression of the glycoprotein mucin-1 (MUC1) has been associated with pancreatic cancer progression and metastasis as a result of mediating the oncogenic transcriptional regulation of target genes. In the present study, we demonstrate that MUC1 downregulates the expression of the tumor suppressor polypeptide N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase 5 in pancreatic cancer. ChIP-on-chip analysis revealed that the MUC1 cytoplasmic tail binds to regulatory elements in the GALNT5 gene. Additionall ...[more]
