Abstract
The present invention relates, in general, to methods for reducing cell tumorigenicity. More particularly, the present invention provides a method for reducing cell tumorigenicity comprising transfecting a tumor cell with an ETS1 gene, the tumor cell not endogenously expressing the ETS1 gene. In addition, the present invention provides a method for reducing cell tumorigenicity comprising contacting a tumor cell with a peptide expressed by an ETS1 gene, the tumor cell not endogenously expressing the ETS1 gene. The methods of the present invention are particularly useful for reducing tumorigenicity in epithelial tumor cells.
