Objective: Although great success has been achieved in cancer treatment, current cancer therapies, including anti-tumorigenesis and anti-angiogenesis, still face the problems of insufficient efficacy, resistance and intrinsic refractoriness, in addition to their toxic side effects. There is a demand to identify additional targets that can be blocked to turn off the downstream effects of most, if not all, pathways. Our studies suggest that orphan nuclear receptor TR3 (human) / Nur77 (mouse) is such a target. Most recently, we reported that TR3/Nur77 expression in human hepatic cancer tissues correlates well with tumor progress, suggesting that TR3 is a specific therapeutic target for hepatic cancers. However, the correlation of TR3/Nur77 expr... view moreĀ»
