Expression of fragile histidine triad (FHIT) and WW-domain oxidoreductase gene (WWOX) in nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
The aim of the present study was to analyze the expression of FHIT and WWOX in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) and correlations with clinical pathologic features. mRNA expression of the FHIT and WWOX was assessed by real-time fluorescent relatively quantitative PCR in 61 NPC tissues and 45 non-cancerous nasopharyngeal tissues. As a result, mRNA expression levels of both FHIT and WWOX were signif...
متن کاملFHIT (fragile histidine triad)
Fhit protein is a tumor suppressor with reduced or no expression in many types of cancer. Fhit expression is more frequently lost in cancers of individuals with familial mutations causing deficiency in DNA repair genes such as BRCA1 and BRCA2 and MSH2. In vitro Fhit acts as a hydrolase that cleaves diadenosine triphosphate (Ap3A) to ADP and AMP. The Fhit-Ap3A enzyme-substrate complex appears to...
متن کاملWWOX ( WW domain containing oxidoreductase )
WWOX is highly expressed in secretory epithelial cells of reproductive, endocrine and exocrine organs and is expressed in all or most other tissues at a lower level. The protein is not expressed or is expressed at low level in many tumor types, including breast, pancreatic, gastric, hepatocellular, ovarian, lung and prostate cancers. Loss of WWOX expression can be due to inactivation by promote...
متن کاملExpression of WW domain–containing oxidoreductase WWOX in pterygium
PURPOSE Pterygium was traditionally regarded as a degenerative disease, but certain characteristics suggest that pterygium is probably premalignant tissue. The human WWOX gene, encoding the WW domain containing oxidoreductase (WWOX, FOR, or WOX1), is a candidate tumor suppressor gene. In this study, we investigated the WWOX gene and protein expression in pterygium. METHODS Pterygium tissues w...
متن کاملExpression of the Fragile Histidine Triad Gene in Laryngeal Carcinoma
The aim of this study was to investigate Fragile Histidine Triad Gene (FHIT) expression in laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma. The paraffin embedded tissue blocks of 64 laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma specimens were enrolled in the study. FHIT expression was detected by an immunohistochemical method. Rabbit polyclonal antibody was used for immunohistochemical study. FHIT expression was low in ...
