BNIP3 and neoplasm: Knockdown of BNIP3 in the 4T07 orthotopic mammary tumor model promoted tumor growth and metastasis (203) while genetic targeting of BNip3 accelerated the growth and metastasis of mammary tumors in the MMTV-PyVT mouse model of breast cancer (Chourasia et al., under review), both results supporting a tumor suppressor/metastasis suppressor function for BNIP3.
