Nuclear corepressor 1 (NCoR) associates with nuclear receptors and other transcription factors leading to transcriptional repression. Genomic studies have shown the presence of inactivating mutations of the NCoR gene in human tumours and we have found that NCoR depletion with siRNA in hepatocarcinoma SK-hep1 cells enhances invasion, tumour growth and metastasis in nude mice, while expression of the thyroid hormone receptor β (TRβ) increases NCoR levels, repr...
