Prohibitin Expression Deregulation in Gastric Cancer Is Associated with the 3′ Untranslated Region 1630 C>T Polymorphism and Copy Number Variation
نویسندگان
چکیده
PHB is a reported oncogene and tumor suppressor in gastric cancer. Here, we evaluated whether the PHB copy number and the rs6917 polymorphism affect its expression in gastric cancer. Down-regulation and up-regulation of PHB were observed in the evaluated tumors. Reduced expression was associated with tumor dedifferentiation and cancer initiation. The T allele of the rs6917 polymorphism was associated with reduced PHB mRNA levels. Moreover, the up-regulation of PHB appeared to be regulated by the gain of additional gene copies. Thus, PHB copy number variation and differential expression of the rs6917 polymorphism may play a role in PHB transcriptional regulation.

3′ untranslated region 1630 C>T polymorphism of prohibitin increases risk of breast cancer
BACKGROUND Prohibitin 3' untranslated region 1630 C>T (rs6917) polymorphism creates a variant T allele that lacks the antiproliferative activity of the more common functional C allele. Previous studies indicate that women carrying the prohibitin T allele have an increased susceptibility to breast cancer. However, the role of 1630 C>T polymorphism in mRNA expression of prohibitin and its contrib...
متن کاملافزایش خطر ابتلا به سرطان معده با چند شکلی VNTR ژن SIRT3
Background and purpose: Gastric cancer is the most common cancer associated with high mortality worldwide. One of the genes that is down-regulated in gastric cancer, is the SIRT3 that encodes the histone deacetylase enzyme. There is a variable number tandem repeat (VNTR) polymorphism in the intron 5 of SIRT3 gene and evidence shows that expression of SIRT3 gene increases by increase in the numb...
متن کاملRelationship between the prohibitin 3' untranslated region C > T gene polymorphism and cancer susceptibility--results of a meta-analysis.
OBJECTIVE The results from the published studies on the association between prohibitin 3' untranslated region C > T gene polymorphism and cancer risk are conflicting. This meta-analysis was performed to evaluate the relationship with cancer susceptibility overall, and to explore whether the T allele or TT genotype could become a predictive marker for cancer risk. METHODS Association studies w...
متن کاملAssociation of the -160 C>A Polymorphism in the CDH1 Promoter with Gastric Cancer: A Case-control Study
E-cadherin is a tumor suppressor protein that plays a crucial role in cell-cell adherens junction and tissue architecture and it is hypothesized to participate in carcinogenesis. It has been shown that a polymorphism in the upstream of the transcription start site of the CDH1 gene affects E-cadherin transcriptional regulation and seems to be associated with a variety of cancers. For the first t...

Cytochrome P450 2E1 (CYP2E1) enzyme metabolically activates a large number of low molecular mass xenobiotics probably involved in gastric cancer incidence through activation of procarcinogens. North of Iran is amongst high incidence rate areas of gastric carcinoma where environmental carcinogenic compounds, including agricultural pesticides, are massively used. In this report, we quantitatively...
