Frequent frameshift mutations of RIZ in sporadic gastrointestinal and endometrial carcinomas with microsatellite instability.
Many lines of evidence suggest that the retinoblastoma protein interacting zinc finger gene RIZ is a strong candidate for the tumor suppressor locus on 1p36, a region commonly deleted in many human cancers with chromosomal instability. In addition, a role for RIZ in tumors of the microsatellite instability pathway is suggested by frequent frameshift mutations in hereditary non-polyposis colorec...
متن کاملFrequent frameshift mutations of the TCF-4 gene in colorectal cancers with microsatellite instability.
About 15% of sporadic colorectal cancers show microsatellite instability (MSI) due to the inactivation of mismatch repair genes and are termed MSI-H tumors. In these tumors, frameshift mutations in coding repeats have been found within the TGFbeta-RII, BAX, and IGFRII genes that are probably involved in their progression. In the present work, we report frequent mutations in TCF-4, another targe...
متن کاملComprehensive genome- and transcriptome-wide analyses of mutations associated with microsatellite instability in Korean gastric cancers.
Microsatellite instability (MSI) is a critical mechanism that drives genetic aberrations in cancer. To identify the entire MS mutation, we performed the first comprehensive genome- and transcriptome-wide analyses of mutations associated with MSI in Korean gastric cancer cell lines and primary tissues. We identified 18,377 MS mutations of five or more repeat nucleotides in coding sequences and u...
متن کاملImplication of microsatellite instability in human gastric cancers
Microsatellite instability, one of the phenomena implicated in gastric cancer, is mainly associated with the expansion or contraction of microsatellite sequences due to replication errors caused most frequently by mutations in the mismatch repair (MMR) and tumour suppressor genes. Tumours exhibiting microsatellite instability are proven to have truncated products resulting from frequent mutatio...
متن کاملA Frameshift Mutation of the Pro-Apoptotic VDAC1 Gene in Cancers with Microsatellite Instability
Dear editor, Apoptosis is a fundamental biochemical cell-death pathway that plays important roles in various physiological and pathological processes during fetal development and in adult tissues. In the intrinsic pathway, a number of death stimuli engage the apoptotic machinery by causing release of cytochrome c from mitochondria, which in turn induces recruitment of caspase-9 into an apoptoso...
