N-myc downstream-regulated gene 1/Cap43 expression promotes cell differentiation of human osteosarcoma cells.
The N-myc downstream regulated gene 1 (NDRG1)/Cap43 is closely associated with cell differentiation, and its expression is induced by hypoxia and increasing intracellular calcium levels. Whether the NDRG1/Cap43 expression in cancer cells is a predictive marker of good or poor prognosis in patients, depends upon tumor types and differentiation status. In this study, we examined whether the NDRG1...
متن کاملThe Expression and Localization of N-Myc Downstream-Regulated Gene 1 in Human Trophoblasts
The protein N-Myc downstream-regulated gene 1 (NDRG1) is implicated in the regulation of cell proliferation, differentiation, and cellular stress response. NDRG1 is expressed in primary human trophoblasts, where it promotes cell viability and resistance to hypoxic injury. The mechanism of action of NDRG1 remains unknown. To gain further insight into the intracellular action of NDRG1, we analyze...
متن کاملN-myc downstream regulated gene 1 (NDRG1) is fused to ERG in prostate cancer.
A step toward the molecular classification of prostate cancer was the discovery of recurrent erythroblast transformation-specific rearrangements, most commonly fusing the androgen-regulated TMPRSS2 promoter to ERG. The TMPRSS2-ERG fusion is observed in around 90% of tumors that overexpress the oncogene ERG. The goal of the current study was to complete the characterization of these ERG-overexpr...
متن کاملN-myc downstream regulated gene 1 acts as a tumor suppressor in ovarian cancer.
Although implicated in a number of tumor types, the role of N-myc downstream regulated gene 1 (NDRG1) in ovarian cancer (OC) is unclear. In the present study, we used short hairpin RNA (shRNA) to silence NDRG1 in the OC cell line OVCAR3 and assessed the effect of its knockdown on cell morphology, proliferation, colony formation, migration and invasion. To complement these knockdown studies, we ...
متن کاملAltered N-myc downstream-regulated gene 1 protein expression in African-American compared with caucasian prostate cancer patients.
PURPOSE The protein encoded by N-myc downstream-regulated gene 1 (NDRG1) is a recently discovered protein whose transcription is induced by androgens and hypoxia. We hypothesized that NDRG1 expression patterns might reveal a biological basis for the disparity of clinical outcome of prostate cancer patients with different ethnic backgrounds. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN Patients who underwent radical p...
