TFAP4 promotes the growth of prostate cancer cells by upregulating FOXK1.

Transcription factor activating enhancer binding protein 4 (TFAP4) has been indicated to be correlated with the progression of various human malignancies. However, the effect and regulatory mechanism of TFAP4 in prostate cancer (PC) remain unclear. The protein and mRNA expression were detected by western blotting and RT-qPCR.
