Clusterin, a haploinsufficient tumor suppressor gene in neuroblastomas.
BACKGROUND Clusterin expression in various types of human cancers may be higher or lower than in normal tissue, and clusterin may promote or inhibit apoptosis, cell motility, and inflammation. We investigated the role of clusterin in tumor development in mouse models of neuroblastoma. METHODS We assessed expression of microRNAs in the miR-17-92 cluster by real-time reverse transcription-polym...
متن کاملNovel CHD5, a tumor suppressor gene in neuroblastomas
Novel CHD5, a tumor suppressor gene in neuroblastomas Neuroblastoma, a tumor of the sympathetic nervous system, is the most common childhood extracranial solid tumor. The authors have identified different patterns of genetic change that underlie these disparate clinical behaviors. One of the most characteristic genetic changes in neuroblastomas is deletion of the short arm of hromosome 1 (1p). ...
متن کاملCHD5, a Tumor Suppressor Gene Deleted From 1p36.31 in Neuroblastomas
BACKGROUND Neuroblastomas are characterized by hemizygous 1p deletions, suggesting that a tumor suppressor gene resides in this region. We previously mapped the smallest region of consistent deletion to a 2-Mb region of 1p36.31 that encodes 23 genes. Based on mutation analysis, expression pattern, and putative function, we identified CHD5 as the best tumor suppressor gene candidate. METHODS W...
متن کاملMYBL2 is a sub-haploinsufficient tumor suppressor gene in myeloid malignancy
A common deleted region (CDR) in both myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) and myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN) affects the long arm of chromosome 20 and has been predicted to harbor a tumor suppressor gene. Here we show that MYBL2, a gene within the 20q CDR, is expressed at sharply reduced levels in CD34+ cells from most MDS cases (65%; n = 26), whether or not they harbor 20q abnormalities. In a ...
متن کاملThe ribosomal protein gene RPL5 is a haploinsufficient tumor suppressor in multiple cancer types
For many years, defects in the ribosome have been associated to cancer. Recently, somatic mutations and deletions affecting ribosomal protein genes were identified in a few leukemias and solid tumor types. However, systematic analysis of all 81 known ribosomal protein genes across cancer types is lacking. We screened mutation and copy number data of respectively 4926 and 7322 samples from 16 ca...
