Mutation Analysis of TP53 Tumor Suppressor Gene in Colorectal Cancer in Patients from Iran (Kerman Province)
Objective(s) P53 is an important tumor suppressor, which is mutated in later stages of many cancers and leads to resistance to chemotherapy. The aim of this study was to reveal mutations of TP53 in colorectal cancer in Kerman province. Materials and Methods A total of Forty-three colon cancer specimens as paraffin block or fresh tissues, which passed stage IIIA, were selected. Three exons 5,...
متن کاملPAQR3: a novel tumor suppressor gene.
PAQR3, also known as RKTG (Raf kinase trapping to Golgi), is a member of the progestin and adipoQ receptor (PAQR) family. The role of PAQR3 as a tumor suppressor has recently been established in different types of human cancer in which PAQR3 exerts its biological function through negative regulation of the oncogenic Raf/MEK/ERK signaling. Multiple studies have found that PAQR3 downregulation fr...
متن کاملWWOX, a new potential tumor suppressor gene.
BACKGROUND WWOX (WW domain-containing oxidoreductase) gene, located on chromosome 16q 23.3-24.1 in the region recognized as the common fragile site FRA16D is considered to be a tumor suppressor gene involved in various cancers: breast, ovarian, prostate, esophageal, lung, pancreatic, gastric and hepatic. The aim of this study was to describe (i) putative protein interactions of WWOX (ii) the mo...
متن کاملPTEN, a unique tumor suppressor gene.
For many years, it has been thought that the chromosome region 10q22-24 includes one or more genes that appear to play a role in several human malignancies. PTEN is a new tumor suppressor gene encoding a dual-specificity phosphatase that was cloned simultaneously by three groups (Li & Sun 1997, Li et al. 1997, Steck et al. 1997), two of which used a positional cloning approach to identify genes...
متن کاملEvolutionary dynamics of tumor suppressor gene inactivation.
Tumor suppressor genes (TSGs) are important gatekeepers that protect against somatic evolution of cancer. Losing both alleles of a TSG in a single cell represents a step toward cancer. We study how the kinetics of TSG inactivation depends on the population size of cells and the mutation rates for the first and second hit. We calculate the probability as function of time that at least one cell h...
