A quantitative model for age-dependent expression of the p16INK4a tumor suppressor.

چکیده
Recent work has shown that expression of the p16(INK4a) tumor suppressor increases with chronological age. Expression is accelerated by gerontogenic behaviors such as tobacco use and physical inactivity, and is also influenced by allelic genotype of a polymorphic single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs10757278 that is physically linked with the p16(INK4a) ORF. To understand the relationship between p16(INK4a) expression, chronologic age, subject characteristics and host genetics, we sought to develop a mathematical model that links p16(INK4a) expression with aging. Using an annotated dataset of 170 healthy adults for whom p16(INK4a) expression and subject genotypes were known, we developed two alternative stochastic models that relate p16(INK4a) expression to age, smoking, exercise and rs10757278 genotype. Levels of p16(INK4a) increased exponentially and then saturated at later chronologic ages. The model, which best fit the data, suggests saturation occurs because of p16(INK4a)-dependent attrition of subjects at older chronologic ages, presumably due to death or chronic illness. An important feature of our model is that factors that contribute to death in a non p16(INK4a)-dependent manner do not affect our analysis. Interestingly, tobacco-related increases in p16(INK4a) expression are predicted to arise from a decrease in the rate of p16(INK4a)-dependent death. This analysis is most consistent with the model that p16(INK4a) expression monotonically increases with age, and higher expression is associated with increased subject attrition.

Background and aim: Lung cancer is one of the most leading causes of cancer death in males and females and the second leading cause of cancer death. Epigenetic alterations, including DNA hypermethylation, histone deacetylation, and miRNAs lead to the silencing of tumor suppressor genes (TSGs) resulting in tumorigenesis. This change has been reported in various cancers. The activity of DNA meth...

Background & Aim : Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is a disorder of pluripotential hematopoietic stem cell that is as a myeloproliferative disease and occurs in about 15 percent of all leukemia. Two cell cycle regulatory proteins that function as tumor suppressor are P16INK4A and P14ARF. The origin of these two proteins is a human INK4A-ARF gene locus that located on chromosome 9p21. P16INK4A co...

The p16INK4a-RB pathway plays a critical role in preventing inappropriate cell proliferation and is often targeted by viral oncoproteins during immortalization. Latent membrane protein 1 (LMP1) of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is often present in EBV-associated proliferative diseases and is critical for the immortalizing and transforming activity of EBV. Unlike other DNA tumor virus oncoproteins, wh...

Introduction: Breast cancer remains the prominent cause of mortality in women. Several biomarkers are used to evaluation the response and targeting to therapy. Tumor suppressor candidate 1 (TUSC1) gene was newly identified as a probable tumor suppressor in human cancers. Nevertheless, the expression and potential function of TUSC1 in breast cancer stay undecided. Therefore, this study aimed the...

The alteration of expression of p16INK4a, a well-known cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor involved in cell cycle control, in tumors is unclear, especially under hypoxic conditions. To evaluate p16INK4a regulation, we performed a protein microarray analysis. Among 1,800 proteins in the array, we identified hYSK1 as a novel protein that interacts with the tumor suppressor p16INK4a. hYSK1, a member...
