The Ewing sarcoma breakpoint region 1 (EWSR1) gene is known to fuse with various partner genes to promote the development of the Ewing sarcoma family of tumors and other sarcomas. In contrast, the association of EWSR1 chimeric fusion genes with leukemia has rarely been reported. We identified a novel EWSR1-associated chimeric fusion gene in a patient with acute myeloid leukemia harboring 46, XY...

Transcription factors govern diverse aspects of cell growth and differentiation as major switches of gene expression. Etv5, a member of the E26 transformation-specific family of transcription factors, has many stories to share when it comes to reproduction. Etv5 deficient mice show complex infertility phenotypes both in males and females. In males, the infertility phenotype exhibited by Etv5 de...

TMPRSS2-Ets gene fusions were identified in prostate cancers where the promoter of transmembrane protease, serine 2 (TMPRSS2) fused with coding sequence of the erythroblastosis virus E26 (Ets) gene family members. TMPRSS2 is an androgen responsive transmembrane serine protease. Ets family members are oncogenic transcription factors that contain a highly conserved Ets DNA binding domain and an N...

Lymphatic endothelial cells (LEC) are major components of the tumor microenvironment and, due to the relative leakiness of lymphatic vessels compared with blood vessels, are essential for tumor dissemination and metastasis. In the present study, small interfering RNA-mediated suppression of E26 transformation-specific domain-containing protein Elk-3 (ELK3) inhibited the proliferation, migration...

The androgen receptor (AR) initiates important developmental and oncogenic transcriptional pathways. The AR is known to bind as a homodimer to 15-base pair bipartite palindromic androgen-response elements; however, few direct AR gene targets are known. To identify AR promoter targets, we used chromatin immunoprecipitation with on-chip detection of genomic fragments. We identified 1,532 potentia...

Abstract Background and Aims Ischemia/reperfusion injury (IRI), a participant in acute kidney (AKI), can occur as series of pathological processes such inflammation. Linarin (LIN) has been widely used for different diseases. To confirm the anti-inflammatory value relevant mechanism LIN during IRI, vivo vitro model were established. Method or isovolumetric DMSO was given, histologic analysis, qu...
