Loss of DCC expression and glioma progression.
The deleted in colorectal cancer (DCC) gene, a candidate tumor suppressor gene on chromosome 18q21, encodes a neural cell adhesion molecule family protein that is most highly expressed in the nervous system. To address the hypothesis that DCC may play a role in glioma development and/or progression, we examined DCC expression by immunohistochemistry in 57 resected human astrocytic tumors. Overa...
متن کاملLoss of heterozygosity and loss of expression of the DCC gene in gastric cancer.
AIM To investigate the role of DCC gene inactivation in the development and progression of gastric cancer. METHODS Loss of heterozygosity and loss of expression of the DCC gene was studied in 51 surgical specimens of gastric cancer using detection based on polymerase chain reaction. RESULTS Loss of heterozygosity was found in 35.3% (18 of 51) of specimens and was detected more often in stag...
متن کاملLoss of DCC expression in astrocytomas: relation to p53 abnormalities, cell kinetics, and survival.
AIMS Although frequent reduction or loss of DCC (deleted in colorectal carcinomas) has been demonstrated in gliomas, the association with cell kinetics and survival is still unclear. METHODS A total of 119 astrocytomas, comprising 39 grade IV, 36 grade III, and 44 low grade tumours, were immunohistochemically investigated, along with 26 normal adult brain samples and two fetal brains. The res...
متن کاملDCC tumor suppressor gene is inactivated in hematologic malignancies showing monosomy 18.
DCC (deleted in colorectal cancer) is a candidate tumor suppressor gene recently identified on chromosome band 18q21. Loss of one DCC allele or decreased DCC expression occurs in more than 70% of colorectal cancers, suggesting that DCC inactivation constitutes a critical event in the development of these tumors. Using polymerase chain reaction amplification of cDNA, we have studied DCC expressi...
متن کاملProgressive disorganization of paranodal junctions and compact myelin due to loss of DCC expression by oligodendrocytes.
Paranodal axoglial junctions are critical for maintaining the segregation of axonal domains along myelinated axons; however, the proteins required to organize and maintain this structure are not fully understood. Netrin-1 and its receptor Deleted in Colorectal Cancer (DCC) are proteins enriched at paranodes that are expressed by neurons and oligodendrocytes. To identify the specific function of...
