一、課程說明 Transcription Factor Forkhead Box (Fox) protein family members
regulate transcriptional network of genes control multiple cell physiology. Among
them, FoxM1 and FoxO have been identified as important transcription factors in
development, cancer and other diseases. This course aims to help students understand
the molecular mechanism and biological roles of FoxM1 and FoxO by covering the
following issues: 1) regulation of Forkhead box family transcription factors; 2) Fox
proteins transcriptional regulate cell cycle; 3) Fox target genes and regulatory
signal pathways; 4) Fox proteins in mouse embryonic development; 5) Fox proteins in
cancer biology; 6) Fox proteins oxidative stress and related diseases.
