Hepatic leukemia factor (HLF), a transcription factor, is dysregulated in many cancers. This study investigates the function of HLF in prostate cancer (PCa) and its relation to tensin 1 (TNS1). Clinical tissues were collected from 24 PCa patients. Duke University 145 (DU145) and PC3 cells overexpressing HLF were established. HLF signaling was downregulated in PCa tissues compared to adjacent tissues and in DU145 and PC3 cells compared to prostate epithelial cells RWPE-1 or prostate stromal cells (WPMY-1). PCa cell lines with overexpression of HLF had reduced proliferative, migratory, and invas...
