Transcription factor KLF9 inhibits the proliferation, invasion, and migration of pancreatic cancer cells by repressing KIAA1522

Pancreatic cancer (PC) has a poor prognosis and high mortality. Kruppel-like factor 9 (KLF9), a transcription factor, is aberrantly expressed in various neoplasms. The current study sought to analyze the functional role of KLF9 in the proliferation, invasion, and migration of PC cells.
