Targeting of the anti-apoptotic gene survivin in human thyroid carcinoma
Survivin is a novel apoptosis inhibitor. Its gene is related to the baculovirus gene, which is believed to play a crucial role in fetal development and in cancer. We attempted to determine the expression of survivin in both thyroid goiter and carcinoma tissues, and to evaluate its prognostic value in human thyroid disease. In the present study, we applied small interfering RNA (siRNA) directed ...
متن کاملTargeting of the BRAF gene in papillary thyroid carcinoma (review).
Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is the most common type of thyroid malignancy and includes several histological variants. Patients suffering from PTC usually have a good outcome. However, a group of PTC patients still encounter high rates of recurrence and mortality. The BRAFV600E mutation is the most common genetic alteration identified in PTC, ranging from 29 to 83%, with the average rate a...
متن کاملExpression of anti-apoptotic protein survivin and tumor suppressor p53 protein in patients with pulmonary carcinoma
BACKGROUND Survivin is one of the inhibitors of the apoptosis gene family that has been implicated in both inhibition of apoptosis and mitosis regulation. p53 is one of the tumor suppressor genes; prevents tumor formation through cell cycle blocking and eliminates damaged cells via activation of apoptosis. OBJECTIVE To investigate the possible regulation of survivin by p53, we examined the ex...
متن کاملSeparating the anti-apoptotic and mitotic roles of survivin.
Survivin is a bifunctional protein that acts as a suppressor of apoptosis and has an essential role in mitosis. To date whether these two functions can be divorced has not been addressed. Here we show that the linker region between the BIR (baculovirus inhibitor of apoptosis repeat) domain of survivin and COOH-terminal alpha helix may be the key to separating its roles. When overexpressed survi...
متن کاملRole of survivin in the pathogenesis of papillary thyroid carcinoma.
The purpose of this study was to assess the correlation between the survivin gene and the occurrence and pathogenesis of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). Sixty patients with PTC and no preoperative chemotherapy were recruited for the study and 30 thyrophyma patients receiving operative treatment in Drum Tower Hospital (Nanjing, China) were included as the control group. The protein expression...
