IGF1-mediated HOXA13 overexpression promotes colorectal cancer metastasis through upregulating ACLY and IGF1R

Abstract Metastasis is the major reason for the high mortality of colorectal cancer (CRC) patients and its molecular mechanism remains unclear. Here, we report a novel role of Homeobox A13 (HOXA13), a member of the Homeobox (HOX) family, in promoting CRC metastasis. The elevated expression of HOXA13...
