ectopic expression of sortilin 1 (ntr-3) in patients with ovarian carcinoma

چکیده

gene expression profiling of ovarian carcinoma tissues has shown an increase of four-fold expression of sort1 gene. sortilin 1 (ntr-3) is a 95-100 kda protein normally expressed in heart, brain, placenta, skeletal muscle, spinal cord, thyroid, and testis. however, its expression has never been reported in normal ovary. here, we report expression of sortilin 1 in ovarian carcinoma tissues both at gene and protein levels. sortilin 1 was expressed in all ovarian carcinoma patients (n=15) as well as ovarian carcinoma cell lines (n=5) regardless of their phenotypic characteristics. non-malignant ovaries (n=6) did not express sortilin 1. the molecular basis for this ectopic expression is not yet clear. our results showed a major cell surface expression of sortilin 1 rather than er-golgi compartment where it is mainly expressed. this finding may introduce sortilin 1 as a novel tumor marker for diagnosis of ovarian carcinoma and may signify its therapeutic value in targeted therapy.

Ectopic Expression of Sortilin 1 (NTR-3) in Patients with Ovarian Carcinoma

Gene expression profiling of ovarian carcinoma tissues has shown an increase of four-fold expression of SORT1 gene. Sortilin 1 (NTR-3) is a 95-100 kDa protein normally expressed in heart, brain, placenta, skeletal muscle, spinal cord, thyroid, and testis.

Upregulation of Endothelin-1/Endothelin A Receptor Expression Correlates with Heparanase Expression in Ovarian Carcinoma

Background: Heparanase and endothelin-1/endothelin A receptor (ET-1/ETAR) expressions increase in cancer. This condition enhances tumor progression and correlates with poor survival. Limited data are documented regarding the role of heparanase and ET-1/ETAR in epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). We sought to characterize the correlation between heparanase and ET-1/ETAR in EOC.Methods: Thirty patie...

The Effect of Sortilin Silencing on Ovarian Carcinoma Cells

BACKGROUND Our preliminary data on the protein expression of SORT1 in ovarian carcinoma tissues showed that sortilin was overexpressed in ovarian carcinoma patients and cell lines, while non-malignant ovaries expressed comparably lower amount of this protein. In spite of diverse ligands and also different putative functions of sortilin (NTR3), the function of overexpressed sortilin in ovarian c...
