چکیده

Description So far, two SSX2 protein isoforms (a and b) are known to exist. Their mRNAs correspond to SV1 (1466 bases) and SV3 (1322 bases) splice variants, respectively. The start codon for both isoforms is located in Exon 2. SSX2 isoform a is 233 amino acids (26.5 kD) and SSX2 isoform b 188 amino acids (21.6 kD). Of both isoforms, SSX2 isoform b is the most commonly seen and so far the best studied.

SSX expression and function in prostate cancer

Background Cancer-testis antigens (CTAs) are a group of proteins whose expression is essentially restricted to testis germline cells among normal somatic cells. CTAs also possess a heightened expression in many different types of cancer. Due to their restricted expression in tumor cells among MHC class I-expressing cells, there has been interest in the CTA as essentially tumor-specific targets ...

Expression of synovial sarcoma X (SSX) antigens in epithelial ovarian cancer and identification of SSX-4 epitopes recognized by CD4+ T cells.

PURPOSE Synovial sarcoma X (SSX) breakpoint genes are expressed in a variety of cancers but not in normal tissues, except for testis, and are potential targets for immunotherapy. The aims of this study were to determine the expression and immunogenicity of these antigens in patients with epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN SSX-1-, SSX-2-, and SSX-4-specific reverse transcript...

CD4+ T cell responses to SSX-4 in melanoma patients.

Genes of the synovial sarcoma X breakpoint (SSX) family are expressed in different human tumors, including melanomas, but not in adult somatic tissues. Because of their specific expression at the tumor site, SSX-encoded Ags are potential targets for anticancer immunotherapy. In this study, we have analyzed CD4+ T cell responses directed against the Ag encoded by SSX-4. Upon in vitro stimulation...

Truncated SSX Protein Suppresses Synovial Sarcoma Cell Proliferation by Inhibiting the Localization of SS18-SSX Fusion Protein

Synovial sarcoma is a relatively rare high-grade soft tissue sarcoma that often develops in the limbs of young people and induces the lung and the lymph node metastasis resulting in poor prognosis. In patients with synovial sarcoma, specific chromosomal translocation of t(X; 18) (p11.2;q11.2) is observed, and SS18-SSX fusion protein expressed by this translocation is reported to be associated w...

Isolation and characterization of the mouse homolog of SYT, a gene implicated in the development of human synovial sarcomas.

In a previous study we reported the isolation of the human synovial sarcoma-associated t(X;18) breakpoint. As a result of this translocation, the SYT gene on chromosome 18 fuses to either the SSX1 or the SSX2 gene on the X chromosome, depending on the exact location of the breakpoint within band Xp11.2. As yet, little is known about the modes of action of the SYT and SSX genes and their respect...
