Hypoxia-inducible regulation of a prodrug-activating enzyme for tumor-specific gene therapy.

abstract：:While normal cells in the human breast are organized into acinar structures, disruption of the acinar architecture is a hallmark of cancer. In a three-dimensional model of morphogenesis, we show that down-regulation of the matrix-associated tumor suppressor protein CCN6 (WNT1-inducible-signaling pathway protein 3) dis...
