Given that KLF9 over-expression increased proliferation [21], and induced the expression of transcripts encoding multiple ECM and basement membrane components for increased adhesion to substratum (additional file 1: Table 1 and additional file 2: Table 2) in HEC-1-A cells, it was of interest to examine human endometrial tumors for expression of KLF9 mRNA. Here, KLF9 is linked to endometrium neoplasm.
