The novel gene EG-1 stimulates cellular proliferation.
We recently discovered a novel gene and named it endothelial-derived gene 1 (EG-1). Previously, we have shown that the expression of EG-1 is significantly elevated in the epithelial cells of breast cancer, colorectal cancer, and prostate cancer. Here, we report that EG-1 can stimulate cellular proliferation. Transfection experiments which overexpressed the full-length EG-1 gene in human embryon...
متن کاملExpression pattern of the novel gene EG-1 in cancer.
PURPOSE We recently discovered a novel gene responsive to tumor-conditioned media: endothelial-derived gene 1 (EG-1). Its transcript has been shown to be present in epithelial cells, as well as in endothelial cells. In this study, we examined the levels of EG-1 protein expression in breast, colon, prostate, and lung cancers, which constitute the four most common solid malignancies in the United...
متن کاملSphingosine-1-phosphate, a novel lipid, involved in cellular proliferation
Sphingosine, a metabolite of membrane sphingolipids, regulates proliferation of quiescent Swiss 3T3 fibroblasts (Zhang, H., N. E. Buckley, K. Gibson. and S. Spiegel. 1990. J. Biol. Chem. 265:76-81). The present study provides new insights into the formation and function of a unique phospholipid, a metabolite of sphingosine, which was unequivocally identified as sphingosine-1-phosphate. The rapi...
متن کاملNuclear translocation of integrin cytoplasmic domain-associated protein 1 stimulates cellular proliferation.
Integrin cytoplasmic domain-associated protein 1 (ICAP-1) has been shown to interact specifically with the beta1 integrin cytoplasmic domain and to control cell spreading on fibronectin. Interestingly, ICAP-1 also is observed in the nucleus, by immunocytochemical staining, and after biochemical cell fractionation, suggesting that it has additional roles that have yet to be determined. We show t...
متن کاملThe Engrailed-1 Gene Stimulates Brown Adipogenesis.
As a thermogenic organ, brown adipose tissue (BAT) has received a great attention in treating obesity and related diseases. It has been reported that brown adipocyte was derived from engrailed-1 (EN1) positive central dermomyotome. However, functions of EN1 in brown adipogenesis are largely unknown. Here we demonstrated that EN1 overexpression increased while EN1 knockdown decreased lipid accum...
