Adenomatous polyposis coli (APC): a multi-functional tumor suppressor gene.
The adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) gene is a key tumor suppressor gene. Mutations in the gene have been found not only in most colon cancers but also in some other cancers, such as those of the liver. The APC gene product is a 312 kDa protein that has multiple domains, through which it binds to various proteins, including beta-catenin, axin, CtBP, Asefs, IQGAP1, EB1 and microtubules. Studies ...
متن کاملModulating Expression of the APC Tumor Suppressor Using RNA Interference
APC is a tumor suppressor gene that is mutated in the germline of individuals with Familial Adenomatous Polyposis Coli (FAP), a disease in which numerous benign polyps carpet the colon and without a colectomy, development of colon cancer is inevitable. In addition to inherited colon cancer, chain-terminating mutations in APC are found in approximately 50% of sporadic colorectal adenomas and 80%...
متن کاملGATA6 is an astrocytoma tumor suppressor gene identified by gene trapping of mouse glioma model.
Malignant astrocytomas are the most common and lethal adult primary brain tumor. Retroviral gene trapping of nontransformed neonatal astrocytes from a glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP):(V12)Ha-Ras murine astrocytoma model led to isolation of the transcription factor Gata6. Loss of Gata6 resulted in enhanced proliferation and transformation of astrocytes. Human malignant astrocytoma cell li...
متن کاملRIN1 is a breast tumor suppressor gene.
Breast cancer progression is driven by altered gene expression. We show that the RIN1 gene, which encodes a RAS effector regulating epithelial cell properties, is silenced in breast tumor cell lines compared with cultured human mammary epithelial cells. We also report that RIN1 is often reduced in human breast tumor cells compared with morphologically normal breast glandular cells. At least two...
متن کاملSTOP gene Phactr4 is a tumor suppressor.
Cancer develops through genetic and epigenetic alterations that allow unrestrained proliferation and increased survival. Using a genetic RNAi screen, we previously identified hundreds of suppressors of tumorigenesis and/or proliferation (STOP) genes that restrain normal cell proliferation. Our STOP gene set was significantly enriched for known and putative tumor suppressor genes. Here, we repor...
