BTG2: a rising star of tumor suppressors (review).
B-cell translocation gene 2 (BTG2), the first gene identified in the BTG/TOB gene family, is involved in many biological activities in cancer cells acting as a tumor suppressor. The BTG2 expression is downregulated in many human cancers. It is an instantaneous early response gene and plays important roles in cell differentiation, proliferation, DNA damage repair, and apoptosis in cancer cells. ...
متن کاملTumor suppressors: Linking cell polarity and growth control
The Drosophila tumor suppressor genes scribble, discs large and lethal giant larvae appear to act in a common pathway. Mutations in any of these genes lead to loss of apical-basal cell polarity and overproliferation of epithelia, revealing a close connection between cytoarchitecture and growth control.
متن کاملNovel Bladder Tumor Growth Suppressors
Next-generation sequencing (NGS) of human bladder cancer has revealedmany gene alterations compared with normal tissue, with most being predicted to be "loss of function." However, given the high number of alterations, evaluating the functional impact of each is impractical. Here, we develop and use a highthroughput, in vivo strategy to determinewhich alterations are loss of function in tumor g...
متن کاملTargeted Deletion of Btg1 and Btg2 Results in Homeotic Transformation of the Axial Skeleton
Btg1 and Btg2 encode highly homologous proteins that are broadly expressed in different cell lineages, and have been implicated in different types of cancer. Btg1 and Btg2 have been shown to modulate the function of different transcriptional regulators, including Hox and Smad transcription factors. In this study, we examined the in vivo role of the mouse Btg1 and Btg2 genes in specifying the re...
متن کاملTumor Suppressors: Control of Signaling by Endocytosis
Genetic defects of the endosomal 'ESCRT' machinery in Drosophila have been found to cause loss of epithelial cell polarity, accompanied by overproliferation of mutant and adjacent wild-type cells. These results can be attributed to defective endocytosis of transmembrane proteins that control cell polarity and proliferation, including Crumbs and Notch.
