The Role of Tricho-Rhino-Phalangeal Syndrome (TRPS) 1 in Apoptosis during Embryonic Development and Tumor Progression
نویسندگان
چکیده
TRPS1 is a GATA-type transcription factor that is closely related to human tricho-rhino-phalangeal syndrome (TRPS) types I and III, variants of an autosomal dominant skeletal disorder. During embryonic development, Trps1 represses Sox9 expression and regulates Wnt signaling pathways that determine the number of hair follicles and their normal morphogenesis. In the growth plate, Trps1 regulates chondrocytes condensation, proliferation, and maturation and phalangeal joint formation by functioning downstream of Gdf5 signaling and by targeting at Pthrp, Stat3 and Runx2. Also, Trps1 protein directly interacts with an activated form of Gli3. In embryonic kidneys, Trps1 functions downstream of BMP7 promoting the mesenchymal-to-epithelial transition, and facilitating tubule morphogenesis and ureteric bud branching. Moreover, Trps1 has been found to be closely related to tumorigenesis, invasion, and metastasis in prostate and breast cancers. It is interesting to note that during the development of hair follicles, bones, and kidneys, mutations in Trps1 cause, either directly or through crosstalk with other regulators, a notable change in cell proliferation and cell death. In this review, we will summarize the most recent studies on Trps1 and seek to elucidate the role for Trps1 in apoptotic regulation.

Tricho-rhino-phalangeal syndrome type I (TRPS I) is characterized by a bulbous nose, sparse hair and epiphyseal coning. Autosomal dominant and recessive transmission are suggested. The presence of cone-shaped epiphyses, the major complaint of patients due to swelling over the phalangeal joints, requires differential diagnosis among various syndromes.

Tricho-rhino-phalangeal syndrome (TRPS) is a heritable congenital syndrome characterized by craniofacial and skeletal abnormalities. TRPS is an autosomal dominant syndrome with high penetrance and wide phenotypic variability. TRPS is classified into three subtypes; TRPS types I (TRPS I; OMIM 190350) and III (TRPS III; OMIM 190351) have distinct clinical manifestations that often correspond to d...
