Tissue targeting in cancer: eIF4E's tale

Katherine L B Borden. Clin Cancer Res. .

Abstract

The eukaryotic translation initiation factor eIF4E is elevated in many human cancers. Tissue-specific targeting of eIF4E activity in ovarian cancer cells is achieved in cell culture and in mice by fusing a peptide corresponding to the eIF4E inhibitor, the eIF4E binding protein 1 (BP1), to an agonist of the gonadotropin receptor.
