Frequent loss of expression of the potential tumor suppressor gene DCC in ductal pancreatic adenocarcinoma.
The development of colon carcinomas is associated with allelic deletions on chromosomes 5q, 17p, and 18q. The DCC gene located on chromosome 18q21.3 codes for a potential tumor suppressor gene related to cellular adhesion receptors. We investigated the expression of this gene in several pancreatic carcinoma cell lines and in patients with ductal adenocarcinomas of the pancreas. In 8 of 11 cell ...
متن کاملLoss of heterozygosity and loss of expression of the DCC gene in gastric cancer.
AIM To investigate the role of DCC gene inactivation in the development and progression of gastric cancer. METHODS Loss of heterozygosity and loss of expression of the DCC gene was studied in 51 surgical specimens of gastric cancer using detection based on polymerase chain reaction. RESULTS Loss of heterozygosity was found in 35.3% (18 of 51) of specimens and was detected more often in stag...
متن کاملLoss of DCC expression and glioma progression.
The deleted in colorectal cancer (DCC) gene, a candidate tumor suppressor gene on chromosome 18q21, encodes a neural cell adhesion molecule family protein that is most highly expressed in the nervous system. To address the hypothesis that DCC may play a role in glioma development and/or progression, we examined DCC expression by immunohistochemistry in 57 resected human astrocytic tumors. Overa...
متن کاملLoss of DCC gene expression is of prognostic importance in acute myelogenous leukemia.
PURPOSE Expression of the deleted in colorectal carcinoma (DCC) gene has been found to be lost in some patients with acute myelogenous leukemia (AML). Although this finding is critical to leukemogenesis, its prognostic significance remains uncertain. To evaluate this, loss of DCC gene expression in AML patients and their prognostic significance were investigated. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN A group o...
متن کاملCLONING AND EXPRESSION OF HUMAN IFNα2B GENE IN SACCHAROMYCES CEREVISIAE
Interferon is a protein secreted by eucaryotic cells following stimulation by viruses, bacteria, and many other immunogenes. Recent medical studies indicate that interferons have effective role in the treatment of virus infections, immunodeficiency and certain types of cancer such as hairy cell leukaemia (HCL). The aim of the present study is to apply yeast strain for secreting human IFNα2b fol...
