Neoplasms constituted an enormous burden and contributed to an estimated 8.2 million deaths in 2012 worldwide. FOXO1 (forkhead box O1), a member of the forkhead box (FOX) family, is a transcriptional factor involved in diverse cellular functions. Herein, we concentrate on recent studies of the antineoplastic roles of FOXO1 in neoplasms. This article may serve as a guide for future research and identify FOXO1 as a potent therapeutic target in neoplasms.
Keywords: Forkhead box O1; apoptosis; microRNA; neoplasm; phosphorylation; proliferation.
