Clinical and pathological significance of N-Myc downstream-regulated gene 2 (NDRG2) in diverse human cancers

Wei Hu et al. Apoptosis. 2016 Jun.

Abstract

Human N-Myc downstream-regulated gene 2 (NDRG2), located at chromosome 14q11.2, has been reported to be down-regulated and associated with the progression and prognosis of diverse cancers. Collectively, previous studies suggest that NDRG2 functions as a candidate tumor-suppressor gene; thus, up-regulation of NDRG2 protein might act as a promising therapeutic strategy for malignant tumors. The aim of this review was to comprehensively present the clinical and pathological significance of NDRG2 in human cancers.

Keywords: Cancers; Clinical and pathological significance; N-Myc downstream-regulated gene 2.
