Studies of Tumor Suppressor Genes via Chromosome Engineering.
The development and progression of malignant tumors likely result from consecutive accumulation of genetic alterations, including dysfunctional tumor suppressor genes. However, the signaling mechanisms that underlie the development of tumors have not yet been completely elucidated. Discovery of novel tumor-related genes plays a crucial role in our understanding of the development and progressio...
متن کاملDNA methylation of tumor suppressor genes in hepatocellular carcinoma
The basic unit of chromatin is a nucleosome included an octamer of the four core histones and 147 base pairs of DNA. Posttranslational histones modifications affect chromatin structure resulting in gene expression changes. CpG islands hypermethylation within the gene promoter regions and the deacetylation of histone proteins are the most common epigenetic modifications. The aberrant patterns of...
متن کاملIdentification of two candidate tumor suppressor genes on chromosome 17p13.3.
A second tumor suppressor locus on 17p that is distinct from TP53 has been identified in brain, breast, lung, and ovarian tumors. Using allelic loss mapping and positional cloning methods, we have recently identified two novel genes, which we refer to as OVCA1 and OVCA2, that map to 17p13.3. The two genes are ubiquitously expressed and encode proteins of 443 and 227 amino acids, respectively, w...
متن کاملChromosome 17p13.3 Identification of Two Candidate Tumor Suppressor Genes on
A second tumor suppressor locus on 17p that is distinct from 77*5.1has been identified in brain, breast, lung, and ovarian tumors. Using allelic loss mapping and positional cloning methods, we have recently identified two novel genes, which we refer to as OVCAI and OVCA2, that map to 17pl3.3. The two genes are ubiquitously expressed and encode proteins of 443 and 227 amino acids, respectively, ...
متن کاملTumor suppressor genes.
Carcinogenesis is a multistep process in which cells accumulate multiple genetic alterations as they progress to a more malignant phenotype. Allelic chromosomal losses as well as mutations of tumor suppressor genes are common genetic events in the development and/or progression of both hereditary and non-hereditary tumors. Recent studies have shown a direct correlation between malignancy and in...
