چکیده
The present study examined the role of the PRDI-BF1-RIZ (PR) domain of tumor suppressor retinoblastoma protein-interacting zinc finger gene 1 (RIZ1) as an anticancer domain and its ability to induce apoptosis in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) cells. The TE13 ESCC cell line was transfected with pcDNA3.1(+) eukaryotic expression vectors bearing the open reading frames of either the human RIZ1 gene or the PR domain, and the mRNA and protein expression levels were then detected using quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction and western blotting, respectively. The rate of apoptosis was determined by flow cytometry and the cell invasion ability was determined by an invasion assay. RIZ1 and the PR domain induced apoptosis and reduced the cell invasion ability (P<0.01). These findings indicate that the RIZ1 gene possesses anticancer activity in the PR domain, which may be important in inhibiting the development of ESCC.

Proteomic analysis of MCF-7 cell lines expressing the zinc-finger or the proline-rich domain of retinoblastoma-interacting-zinc-finger protein.
To identify a growth-promoting activity related to retinoblastoma-interacting-zinc-finger (RIZ) protein, differential protein expression of MCF-7 cell lines expressing the zinc-finger or the proline-rich domain of RIZ protein was analyzed by a robust bottom-up mass-spectrometry proteomic approach. Spots corresponding to qualitative and quantitative differences in protein expression have been se...

The distal portion of chromosome 1p is one of the most commonly affected regions in human cancer. In this study of hereditary and sporadic colorectal cancer, a region of frequent deletion was identified at 32.2 centimorgans from 1ptel. Deletion breakpoints clustered in the vicinity of or inside the gene RIZ, which encodes a retinoblastoma protein-interacting zinc finger protein. Sequence analys...

Human positive regulatory domain I binding factor 1 (PRDI-BF1 or BLIMP-1) is a transcription factor that acts as a master regulator and has crucial roles in the control of differentiation and in maintaining survival of plasma cells (PC). The PRDM1 gene, which codifies for PRDI-BF1, contains an alternative promoter capable of generating a PRDI-BF1 deleted protein (called PRDI-BF1β), which lacks ...
متن کاملThe role of the retinoblastoma protein-interacting zinc finger gene 1 tumor suppressor gene in human esophageal squamous cell carcinoma cells
The tumor suppressor protein retinoblastoma protein-interacting zinc finger gene 1 (RIZ1) is downregulated in several types of cancer, including esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). The present study used two in vitro methods to re-express RIZ1 in the human ESCC TE13 cell line in order to induce apoptosis. RIZ1 was re-expressed in the TE13 cells by reintroducing the gene through transfect...
متن کاملRIZ1, but not the alternative RIZ2 product of the same gene, is underexpressed in breast cancer, and forced RIZ1 expression causes G2-M cell cycle arrest and/or apoptosis.
The retinoblastoma protein-interacting zinc finger gene RIZ maps to the distal short arm of human chromosome 1 (1p36), a region thought to harbor tumor suppressor genes for a variety of human cancers including breast cancer. The RIZ gene normally produces two protein products of different length, RIZ1 and RIZ2. RIZ2 is generated by an internal promoter and lacks an NH2-terminal motif of RIZ1, t...
