SATB1 and nasopharyngeal carcinoma: Taken together, our study provides the evidence that EBV LMP-1 expression may associate with SATB1 expression in NPC; over-expression of SATB1 is closely related to the clinical progression of NPC, SATB1 was universally expressed in all NPC cell lines examined, and its expression levels were inversely related with cell differentiation; knockdown of SATB1 by specific siRNA led to attenuated cell proliferation and migration.
