P1.109. Overexpression of RFC3 Relates to Tumor Development and Poor Outcome of Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma
Abstract Topic Esophageal Cancer: Molecular Biology/Pathology Background Replication factor C (activator 1) 3 (RFC3), located on 13q13.2, is reported to be necessary for the elongation of primed DNA templates by DNA polymerase delta and DNA polymerase epsilon. In this study, we tested whether RFC3 acts as a cancer-promoting factor by being overexpressed in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). Methods We analyzed 14 ESCC cell lines and 58 primary tumor samples of ESCC, which were curatively resected in our hos …
