Specificity protein 1 (SP1) regulates many biological functions, including cell growth, differentiation, and survival, as well as tumor progression and metastasis (Banerjee et al., 2013; Beishline and Azizkhan‐Clifford, 2015; Deniaud et al., 2009; Hedrick et al., 2016; Kanai et al., 2006). Here, SP1 is linked to neoplasm.
