SIRT3: Oncogene and Tumor Suppressor in Cancer
Sirtuin 3 (SIRT3), the major deacetylase in mitochondria, plays a crucial role in modulating oxygen reactive species (ROS) and limiting the oxidative damage in cellular components. SIRT3 targets different enzymes which regulate mitochondrial metabolism and participate in ROS detoxification, such as the complexes of the respiratory chain, the isocitrate dehydrogenase, or the manganese superoxide...
متن کاملAMPK: a contextual oncogene or tumor suppressor?
The AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) functions to monitor and maintain energy homeostasis at the cellular and organism level. AMPK was perceived historically primarily as a component of the LKB1/STK11 tumor suppressor (LKB1 mutations cause the Peutz-Jegher cancer predisposition syndrome) cascade upstream of the TSC1/2/mTOR pathway and thus likely to be a tumor suppressor. However, AMPK has r...
متن کاملCancer genetics: Tumor suppressor meets oncogene
The adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) tumor suppressor protein is inactivated by mutations in the majority of colorectal cancers. A recent study has revealed that alterations in the APC signaling pathway can result in the transcriptional activation of the c-MYC gene.
متن کاملRhoB: Team Oncogene or Team Tumor Suppressor?
Although Rho GTPases RhoA, RhoB, and RhoC share more than 85% amino acid sequence identity, they play very distinct roles in tumor progression. RhoA and RhoC have been suggested in many studies to contribute positively to tumor development, but the role of RhoB in cancer remains elusive. RhoB contains a unique C-terminal region that undergoes specific post-translational modifications affecting ...
متن کاملReview of circulating tumor markers: from enzyme, carcinoembryonic protein to oncogene and suppressor gene.
The ease and non-invasive nature of the procedure for drawing blood has made it possible to measure circulating tumor markers for cancer screening, diagnosis, follow-up and early detection of recurrence. Even though a tumor-specific marker has not yet been found, the specificity and sensitivity of currently used tumor markers have improved over the last several decades as they have progressed f...
