Genetic mechanisms and/or prediction biomarkers of cancer metastasis
Dan Xie's Laboratory

Summary
The laboratory of Dan Xie, M.D., Ph.D. is within the Sun Yat-Sen University Cancer Center for basic and translational  studies on cancer metastasis and anticancer drugs research. The Xie Lab is interested in understanding the genetic mechanisms and/or prediction biomarkers of cancer metastasis in several types of human cancers including colorectal,  hepatoceullar, esophageal, lung and ovarian carcinomas.

Current Research
1.      The molecular carcinogenic characteristics and clinical significance of new candidate oncogene EIF5A2 in colorectal cancer metastasis.

2.      The role of the Polycomb EZH2 in hepatocellular carcinoma metastasis and the screening and molecular mechanism of its silence of tumor suppressor.

3.      Studies on the molecular functions and mechanism of miRNA-148 in the malignant progress of primary hepatocellular carcinoma.
