CLIC4, a member of a family of intracellular chloride channels, is regulated by p53, c-Myc, and tumor necrosis factor-alpha. Regulation by factors involved in cancer pathogenesis, together with the previously shown proapoptotic activity of CLIC4, suggests that the protein may have a tumor suppressor function. To address this possibility, we characterized the expression profile, subcellular localization, and gene integrity of CLIC4 in human cancers and determined the functional consequences of CLIC4 expression in tumor epithelium and stromal cells.
