Topology of NGEP, a prostate-specific cell:cell junction protein widely expressed in many cancers of different grade level.
New gene expressed in prostate (NGEP) is a prostate-specific polytopic membrane protein found at high concentrations at cell:cell contact regions. To determine if NGEP is a useful target for antibody-based therapy of prostate cancer, we performed an immunohistochemical analysis of 126 human prostate carcinoma samples using polyclonal anti-NGEP sera and found that 91% of the cancers express NGEP...
متن کاملNGEP, a prostate-specific plasma membrane protein that promotes the association of LNCaP cells.
NGEP is a prostate-specific gene identified by analysis of expressed sequence tag databases. RNA analysis revealed two spliced forms of NGEP mRNA: a short form encoding a soluble protein (NGEP-S) and a long form encoding a polytopic membrane protein (NGEP-L). Transient expression of myc epitope-tagged NGEP-L showed that it was localized to the plasma membrane. We have now produced a specific an...
متن کاملStudy of NGEP expression in androgen sensitive prostate cancer cells: A potential target for immunotherapy
Background: Prostate cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer deaths among men. New gene expressed in prostate (NGEP), is a prostate-specific gene expressed only in normal prostate and prostate cancer tissue. Because of its selective expression in prostate cancer cell surface, NGEP is a potential immunotherapeutic target. To target the NGEP in prostate cancer, it is essential to investig...

Expression of Prostate-Specific Membrane Antigen (PSMA) in Brain Glioma and its Correlation with Tumor Grade
Background & Objective Angiogenesis is an essential component of tumor growth. Expression of PSMA on the neo-vasculature of many solid tumors, including glioblastoma multi-form, has been determined. The pattern of expression suggests that PSMA may play a functional role in angiogenesis. Methods: expression of PSMA in dif...
