Abstract:
The high mobility group A2 (HMGA2), one ofnon-histone chromatin proteins, may alter chromatin structure and thereby regulate the transcription of several genes by either enhancing or suppressing transcription factors, and leading to malignant neoplasm formation. This paper focuses on the role of the HMGA proteins in human neoplastic diseases, and discusses the mechanisms by which they contribute to carcinogenesis, and diagnosis strategies based on targeting HMGA proteins.
