The tumour suppressor Ras-association domain family protein 1A (RASSF1A) regulates TNF-α signalling in cardiomyocytes
AIMS Tumour necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) plays a key role in the regulation of cardiac contractility. Although cardiomyocytes are known to express the TNF-α receptors (TNFRs), the mechanism of TNF-α signal transmission is incompletely understood. The aim of this study was to investigate whether the tumour suppressor Ras-association domain family protein 1 isoform A (RASSF1A) modulates TNF-α signal...
متن کاملEpigenetic inactivation of RAS association domain family protein 1 (RASSF1A) in malignant cutaneous melanoma.
Recent findings have shown the inactivation of a Ras effector homologue gene referred to as the Ras association domain family 1 (RASSF1) gene, which is a potential human tumor suppressor gene located on chromosome 3p21.3. Hypermethylation of the CpG island promoter region of a major alternative transcript of this gene, RASSF1A, has been suggested to play a key role in pathogenesis of various ca...
متن کاملRole of the Ras-association domain family 1 tumor suppressor gene in human cancers.
In recent years, the list of tumor suppressor genes (or candidate TSG) that are inactivated frequently by epigenetic events rather than classic mutation/deletion events has been growing. Unlike mutational inactivation, methylation is reversible and demethylating agents and inhibitors of histone deacetylases are being used in clinical trails. Highly sensitive and quantitative assays have been de...
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 کاملthe association of ala133ser polymorphism and methylation in ras association domain family 1a gene with unfavorable prognosis of hepatocellular carcinoma
conclusions the polymorphism and promoter methylation of rassf1a may be a significant factor in hcc, and can be an indicator for poor prognosis in patients with hcc. background the functional and prognostic significance of ras association domain family 1a gene (rassf1a) on hepatocellular carcinoma (hcc) has not been well characterized. objectives this study aimed to investigate the association ...
