Consistent with these observations, CADD522 modulated the mRNA levels of RUNX2 responsive genes such as Glut-1, LDHA, and Sirt6 that regulate glucose metabolism [52], MMP-2, MMP-9, MMP13 and MT1-MMP that regulate tumor invasion/metastasis, and BSP, OPN and OC that regulate osteogenic differentiation. This evidence concerns the gene RUNX2 and neoplasm.
