Abstract | AIM AND BACKGROUND: The Wilms' tumor 1 gene (WT1) is overexpressed in many cancers, including breast cancer, and its high expression is an adverse prognostic factor. However, the factors that regulate WT1 expression are poorly understood. METHODS AND STUDY DESIGN: RESULTS: CONCLUSIONS: The results indicate a novel posttranscriptional regulatory factor of WT1 in MCF-7 breast cancer cells.
