Involvement of the RASSF1A tumor suppressor gene in controlling cell migration.
We have previously shown that RASSF1A associates with the microtubules. This association alters the microtubule dynamics and seems essential for RASSF1A tumor suppressive function. Mutant variants of RASSF1A that do not associate fully with the microtubules have reduced ability to stabilize them and cause cell cycle arrest. Here we show that overexpression of RASSF1A diminished the ability of A...
متن کاملTime dependent of epigenetic effect of disulfiram on tumor suppressor gene of RASSF1A in Hela cancer cell line
Introduction: Cervical cancer is the third most common tumor among women. Surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy are common treatments, however high stage tumors have frequently poor prognosis. Nowadays, the epigenetic reversion introduced as an efficient strategy of treatment of cervical cancer. In the process, inhibitors of DNA methyltransferase (DNMT) induce re-expression of tumor suppresso...
متن کاملThe RASSF1A tumor suppressor.
RASSF1A (Ras association domain family 1 isoform A) is a recently discovered tumor suppressor whose inactivation is implicated in the development of many human cancers. Although it can be inactivated by gene deletion or point mutations, the most common contributor to loss or reduction of RASSF1A function is transcriptional silencing of the gene by inappropriate promoter methylation. This epigen...
متن کاملRole of the tumor suppressor RASSF1A in Mst1-mediated apoptosis.
Mammalian sterile 20-like kinase 1 (Mst1) is activated by both caspase-mediated cleavage and phosphorylation in response to apoptotic stimuli, including Fas ligation. Here, we examined the possible role of the tumor suppressor RASSF1A in Mst1 activation and Mst1-mediated apoptosis induced by death receptor signaling. Immunoprecipitation and immunofluorescence analyses revealed that Mst1 was ass...
متن کاملEpigenetic inactivation of the RASSF1A 3p21.3 tumor suppressor gene in both clear cell and papillary renal cell carcinoma.
Renal cell carcinoma (RCC), the most common adult kidney neoplasm, is histopathologically heterogeneous, with most sporadic RCCs ( approximately 80%) classified as clear cell (CC) tumors. Chromosome 3p allele loss is the most frequent genetic alteration in RCC but is associated specifically with sporadic and hereditary forms of clear cell RCC (CC-RCC) and is not a feature of non-CC-RCC, such as...
