The High Mobility Group A1 Gene: Transforming Inflammatory Signals into Cancer?
Abstract
High mobility group A1 (HMGA1) is highly expressed during embryogenesis and in poorly differentiated cancers, and high levels portend a poor prognosis in some tumors. HMGA1 induces oncogenic transformation in cultured cells and causes aggressive cancers in transgenic mice, whereas blocking it interferes with transformation in experimental models. These findings suggest a pivotal role for HMGA1 in cancer. This review focuses on two recently described HMGA1 transcriptional targets that mediate inflammatory signals and drive malignant transformation because they could serve as biomarkers or therapeutic targets. Further elucidation of HMGA1 function in transformation promises to have a major impact on our war on cancer. Cancer Res; 70(2); 436–9

HMGA1 promotes an inflammatory transcriptional profile, at least in part by increasing Cox-2 and STAT-3 levels.
“Particularly relevant to the role of miR-181 repression of HMGA1 in the inflammatory response, HMGA1 has been shown to promote an inflammatory transcriptional profile, at least in part by increasing Cox-2 and STAT-3 levels (Resar, 2010 for a review; Schuldenfrei et al., 2011).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
