Transcriptional regulation by the Wilms' tumour suppressor protein WT1.
Wilms' tumour is a paediatric malignancy of the kidneys and is the most common solid tumour found in children. The Wilms' tumour suppressor protein WT1 is mutated in approximately 15% of Wilms' tumours, and is aberrantly expressed in many others. WT1 can manifest both tumour suppressor and oncogenic activities, but the reasons for this are not yet clear. The Wilms' tumour suppressor protein WT1...
متن کاملThe role of the Wilms' tumour-suppressor protein WT1 in apoptosis.
The Wilms' tumour-suppressor gene (WT1), encodes a zinc-finger transcription factor that is critical for the development of several organs, including the kidneys, gonads and spleen. Despite its identification as a tumour suppressor that plays a crucial role in the formation of a paediatric malignancy of the kidneys (Wilms' tumour), it has also emerged as an oncogenic factor influencing prolifer...
متن کاملCorrelation between a specific Wilms tumour suppressor gene (WT1) mutation and the histological findings in Wilms tumour (WT).
W ilms tumour (WT) is the most common malignant neoplasm of the kidney in childhood and accounts for approximately 8% of all childhood solid tumours. 2 Fetal rhabdomyomatous nephroblastoma (FRN) is a histological variant of WT characterised by a predominance of rhabdomyogenic components. Clinically, WT of the FRN type presents as a huge mass in younger patients and about 30% of them have bilate...
متن کاملDoes the Wilms' tumour suppressor gene, WT1, play roles in both splicing and transcription?
The Wilms' tumour suppressor gene (WT1) encodes a protein(s) with 4 zinc fingers that is essential for the development of the genitourinary system. A considerable body of evidence exists to support the idea that WT1 binds DNA and functions as a transcription factor. However, we have shown recently by confocal microscopy and immunoprecipitation studies that a significant proportion of WT1 is ass...
متن کاملThe many facets of the Wilms' tumour gene, WT1.
Over the years, many apparently contradictory findings and functions have been ascribed to the protein product of the WT1 tumour suppressor gene. These include being a transcriptional activator or repressor, a function in transcription versus RNA metabolism, and these days even a function as oncogene or tumour suppressor gene. To fully understand the role of WT1 in different diseases and normal...
