چکیده

The search of inherited cancer susceptibility factors is an important subject in cancer epidemiology. Analyses of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) in various genes revealed a correlation between the presence of specific allelic variants and cancer predisposition in diverse malignancies. STK15 is an important protein in control of the integrity of the mitotic spindle apparatus and genomic stability. We analysed the distribution of the functionally important T91A SNP in the STK15 gene in a cohort of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) patients and compared it to the distribution in a control group without malignancies. DNA from formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded healthy renal tissue (RCC patients) or peripheral blood samples (control group) was isolated according to standard protocols. Allelic variant of STK15 nucleotide 91 was determined using restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis. Overall, 156 RCC patients and 158 patients without any malignancy were analysed. The distribution of the STK15 SNP in RCC patients (T/T, 58.97%; A/T, 36.53%; A/A, 4.49%) did not significantly differ from that of the control group (T/T, 51.27%; A/T, 41.14%; A/A, 7.59%). There was also no correlation between genotype and tumour grade or stage or other histopathological characteristics of the tumours. This first analysis of the STK15 T91A SNP in RCC patients revealed no correlation between a certain allelic variant and an increased risk for RCC.

Functional STK15 Phe31Ile polymorphism is associated with the occurrence and advanced disease status of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.

STK15/BTAK/Aurora-A involved in regulating centrosomes and chromosome segregation is amplified and overexpressed in human cancers. A T91A polymorphism in STK15 causes Phe31Ile substitution, and the 31Ile variant has been shown to be preferentially amplified and associated with degree of aneuploidy in human tumors. We genotyped 656 patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) and 656 ...

The aim of this study was to investigate STK15 amplification in histologically benign urothelium and invasive tumor tissue of urothelial bladder cancer patients in relation to clinicopathologic and molecular characteristics, and to analyze a hypothesized association between the STK15 single nucleotide polymorphism at site T91A (Phe31Ile) and STK15 gene amplification. A tissue microarray (TMA) w...

Upregulation of STK15 in esophageal squamous cell carcinomas in a Mongolian population.

BACKGROUND The STK15 gene located on chromosome 20q13.2 encodes a centrosome-associated kinase critical for regulated chromosome segregation and cytokinesis. Recent studies have demonstrated STK15 to be significantly associated with many tumors, with aberrant expression obseved in many human malignancies. The purpose of this study was to investigate expression of STK15 in esophageal squamous ce...

Functional Phe31Ile polymorphism in Aurora A and risk of breast carcinoma.

Aurora-A/BTAK/STK15, involved in regulating centrosomes and chromosome segregation, is overexpressed in human breast carcinoma and other cancers. The Phe31-->Ile polymorphism in Aurora A alters the kinase function, with the Ile31 variant being preferentially amplified and associated with degree of aneuploidy in human tumors. We have previously shown that the Phe31Ile polymorphism is associated ...

Introduction: Metastatic lesions of the oral cavity are extremely rare, accounting for approximately 1% of all malignant oral tumors. The most common primary sources of metastatic tumors in the oral region are, from the most to the least common, the breast, lung, kidney, bone, and colon. Renal cell carcinoma accounts for nearly 3% of all adult malignancies. It usually metastasizes to the lungs,...
