Measurement of Serum Survivin to Discriminate Patients with Breast Cancer from Normal Subjects
Background and Aims: There is now an increasing body of evidence that survivin is a protein, expressed highly in breast cancer. The signaling interaction of protein survivin in breast cancer is still unclear, but physiological regulation of survivin seems to be linked to the breast cancer occurrence and severity of it. Materials and Methods: Serum samples were obtained from April 2015 to Novem...
متن کاملLong non-coding RNAs and their significance in human diseases
Protein-coding genes account for only a small fraction of the human genome and most of the genomic sequences are transcriptionally silent, but recent observations indicate significant functional elements, including non-coding protein transcripts in the human genome. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been defined as transcripts of >200 nucleotides without protein-coding capacity that perform t...
متن کاملمطالعهی بیان ژنSurvivin و واریانتهای پیرایشی ΔEx3٬ 2b و 3b آن به عنوان تومور مارکرهای تشخیصی در سرطان پستان
Introduction: Survivin is a new member of the Inhibitor Apotosis Protein family (IAP) which plays an important role in the regulation of both cell cycle and apoptosis. Its distinct expression in tumor cells as compared to normal adult cells introduces Survivin as the fourth transcriptom demonstrated in tumors. Breast cancer is the most common malignancy among women and scientist`s efforts to cl...
متن کاملAPE1/Ref-1 redox-specific inhibition decreases survivin protein levels and induces cell cycle arrest in prostate cancer cells
A key feature of prostate cancer progression is the induction and activation of survival proteins, including the Inhibitor of Apoptosis (IAP) family member survivin. Apurinic/apyrimidinic endonuclease 1/redox effector factor 1 (APE1/Ref-1) is a multifunctional protein that is essential in activating oncogenic transcription factors. Because APE1/Ref-1 is expressed and elevated in prostate cancer...
متن کاملEP300 regulates the expression of human survivin gene in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma
Survivin is selectively up-regulated in various cancers including esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). The underlying mechanism of survivin overexpression in cancers is needed to be further studied. In this study, we investigated the effect of EP300, a well known transcriptional coactivator, on survivin gene expression in human esophageal squamous cancer cell lines. We found that overexpr...
