Aberrant expressions of HOX genes in colorectal and hepatocellular carcinomas.
HOX genes are known as master regulator genes which give cells positional information in embryogenesis. In this study, we compared the expression patterns of 39 HOX genes among human colorectal carcinomas from the right large intestine (cecum, ascending and transverse colon), those from the left large intestine (discending and sigmoid colon, and rectum) and hepatocellular carcinoma. The express...
متن کاملAberrant transcripts of FHIT, TSG101 and PTEN/MMAC1 genes in normal peripheral mononuclear cells.
Aberrant transcripts of FHIT and TSG101 using nested RT-PCR were reported in many human tumours. The role of these aberrant transcripts in tumourigenesis is not clear. We, therefore, analyzed the aberrant transcripts of FHIT, TSG101 and PTEN/MMAC1 in peripheral mononuclear cells of normal individuals using nested RT-PCR to explore the role of these genes in cancer development. The results showe...
متن کاملAbnormal FHIT transcripts in human breast carcinomas: a clinicopathological and epidemiological analysis of 61 Japanese cases.
Deletions in the short arm of chromosome 3 have been found in various human cancers, including breast cancer. Recently, the FHIT (fragile histidine triad) gene was identified at 3p14.2 as a candidate tumor suppressor gene. We examined the abnormal transcripts of the FHIT gene in 61 Japanese primary breast cancer specimens and found that 23 (38%) of them exhibited abnormalities, about half of wh...
متن کاملAberrant transcripts of the cyclin-dependent kinase-associated protein phosphatase in hepatocellular carcinoma.
The cyclin-dependent kinase (Cdk)-associated protein phosphatase (KAP) is a human dual specificity protein phosphatase that dephosphorylates Cdk2 on threonine 160 in a cyclin-dependent manner. To investigate whether mutations of this enzyme occur in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), KAP mRNA was analyzed by reverse transcription-PCR (RT-PCR), followed by cloning and sequencing. Eight of 14 biopsy...
متن کاملAberrant fragile histidine triad gene transcripts in primary hepatocellular carcinoma and liver cirrhosis.
To determine whether transcriptional alterations of the fragile histidine triad (FHIT) gene play a role in the development and progression of human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) we used reverse transcription-PCR to examine mRNA FHIT expression in 28 paired samples of HCC (24 in cirrhotic and 4 in noncirrhotic livers) and matched noncancerous tissue and in 10 normal livers. We also assessed los...
