Tumor suppressor functions of ARLTS1 in lung cancers.
ARLTS1 is a newly characterized tumor suppressor gene located at chromosome 13q14.3 and involved in the pathogenesis of various types of tumors: two single-nucleotide polymorphisms, one of them responsible for protein truncation, were found statistically associated with familial malignancies, whereas DNA hypermethylation and genomic deletions have been identified as a mechanism of ARLTS1 down-r...
متن کاملAlterations of the tumor suppressor gene ARLTS1 in ovarian cancer.
ARLTS1 is a tumor suppressor gene initially described as a low-penetrance cancer gene: a truncated Trp149Stop (MUT) polymorphism is associated with general familial cancer aggregation and, particularly, high-risk familial breast cancer. DNA hypermethylation has been identified as a mechanism of ARLTS1 expression down-regulation in lung carcinomas and B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia. We foun...
متن کاملmicroRNA-29a functions as a tumor suppressor in nasopharyngeal carcinoma 5-8F cells through targeting VEGF
Objective(s): microRNA-29 (miR-29) family miRNAs have been mentioned as tumor suppressive genes in several human cancers. The purpose of this study was to investigate the function of miR-29a in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) cells. Materials and Methods: Human NPC cell line 5-8F was transfected with mimic, inhibitor or scrambled controls...
متن کاملTumor Suppressor Function of the SEMA3B Gene in Human Lung and Renal Cancers
The SEMA3B gene is located in the 3p21.3 LUCA region, which is frequently affected in different types of cancer. The objective of our study was to expand our knowledge of the SEMA3B gene as a tumor suppressor and the mechanisms of its inactivation. In this study, several experimental approaches were used: tumor growth analyses and apoptosis assays in vitro and in SCID mice, expression and methy...
متن کاملProline oxidase functions as a mitochondrial tumor suppressor in human cancers.
Tumor metabolism and bioenergetics have become important topics for cancer research and are promising targets for anticancer therapy. Although glucose serves as the main source of energy, proline, an alternative substrate, is important, especially during nutrient stress. Proline oxidase (POX), catalyzing the first step in proline catabolism, is induced by p53 and can regulate cell survival as w...
