Background:

The Hox proteins play a role in development and cellular differentiation by regulating downstream target genes. Specifically, the Hox proteins direct DNA-protein and protein-protein interactions that assist in determining the morphologic features associated with the anterior-posterior body axis. The mammalian HOX gene complex consists of 39 genes that are located on four linkage groups, which are dispersed over four chromosomes. A segment of the HoxB7 proximal promoter drives renal expression of reporter genes specifically in the ureteric bud and collecting ducts. Expression levels of HoxB7 are lower in lymph node metastasis-positive cancer tissues than negative cancer tissues. These results suggest that aberrant expression of HOX genes is related to the development of breast cancer and malignant behavior of cancer cells.
