CHD5 Is a Tumor Suppressor at Human 1p36
Cancer gene discovery has relied extensively on analyzing tumors for gains and losses to reveal the location of oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes, respectively. Deletions of 1p36 are extremely common genetic lesions in human cancer, occurring in malignancies of epithelial, neural, and hematopoietic origin. Although this suggests that 1p36 harbors a gene that drives tumorigenesis when inactiv...
متن کاملThe quest for the 1p36 tumor suppressor.
Genomic analyses of late-stage human cancers have uncovered deletions encompassing 1p36, thereby providing an extensive body of literature supporting the idea that a potent tumor suppressor resides in this interval. Although several genes have been proposed as 1p36 candidate tumor suppressors, convincing evidence that their encoded products protect from cancer has been scanty. A recent function...
متن کاملThe apoptotic potential of ergolide to induce apoptosis in molt4 cell lines
Background: Cancer is a multi-faceted diseases caused cell proliferation in an out of control manner due to accumulation of defects and mutation in their DNA and with an impendence to invade or spread to parts of the body. During last decades new compounds with natural roots have emerged as a new paradigm for effective anti-cancer treatment. Objective: The aim of this study is to evaluate the p...
متن کاملN-myc downstream regulated gene 1 acts as a tumor suppressor in ovarian cancer.
Although implicated in a number of tumor types, the role of N-myc downstream regulated gene 1 (NDRG1) in ovarian cancer (OC) is unclear. In the present study, we used short hairpin RNA (shRNA) to silence NDRG1 in the OC cell line OVCAR3 and assessed the effect of its knockdown on cell morphology, proliferation, colony formation, migration and invasion. To complement these knockdown studies, we ...
متن کاملXAF1 promotes neuroblastoma tumor suppression and is required for KIF1Bβ-mediated apoptosis
Neuroblastoma is an aggressive, relapse-prone childhood tumor of the sympathetic nervous system. Current treatment modalities do not fully exploit the genetic basis between the different molecular subtypes and little is known about the targets discovered in recent mutational and genetic studies. Neuroblastomas with poor prognosis are often characterized by 1p36 deletion, containing the kinesin ...
