Wnt inhibitory factor-1 functions as a tumor suppressor through modulating Wnt/β-catenin signaling in neuroblastoma.
Neuroblastoma is the most common extracranial solid tumor in childhood and is associated with serious morbidity and mortality. The effective treatment of neuroblastoma remains one of the major challenges in pediatric oncology. The Wnt signaling pathway has been shown to play a significant role in the pathogenesis of adult and pediatric tumors. WIF-1 has been identified as an important Wnt antag...
متن کاملThe Epigenetic Modifier PRDM5 Functions as a Tumor Suppressor through Modulating WNT/b-Catenin Signaling and Is Frequently Silenced in Multiple Tumors
Background: PRDM (PRDI-BF1 and RIZ domain containing) proteins are zinc finger proteins involved in multiple cellular regulations by acting as epigenetic modifiers. We studied a recently identified PRDM member PRDM5 for its epigenetic abnormality and tumor suppressive functions in multiple tumorigeneses. Methodology/Principal Findings: Semi-quantitative RT-PCR showed that PRDM5 was broadly expr...

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 کاملDysregulation of the WNT Signaling Pathway Through Methylation of Wnt Inhibitory Factor 1 and Dickkopf-1 Genes among AML Patients at the Time of Diagnosis
Background: In acute myeloblastic leukemia, a large number of tumor suppressor genes are silenced through DNA methylation such as CDKN2B & p73. Wnt inhibitory factor 1 (WIF1) and Dickkopf-3 (DKK-1) are negative regulators of Wnt signaling pathway. In the present study, we evaluated the methylation status of WIF1 and DKK-1 genes in acute myeloblastic leukemia patients. Patients and Methods: ...
