Clinical Findings in a Family with Familial Adenomatous Polyposis and a Missense Mutation of the Adenomatous Polyposis Coli Gene

open access: yesScandinavian Journal of Gastroenterology, 1996
Background: More than 100 different mutations in the adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) gene have been identified; virtually all lead to the production of a truncated protein.

The adenomatous polyposis coli tumor suppressor protein localizes to plasma membrane sites involved in active cell migration. [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Cell Biology, 1996
Mutations in the adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) gene are linked to polyp formation in familial and sporadic colon cancer, but the functions of the protein are not known.

Genotype-Phenotype Correlations in Attenuated Adenomatous Polyposis Coli

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Human Genetics, 1998
SummaryGerm-line mutations of the tumor suppressor APC are implicated in attenuated adenomatous polyposis coli (AAPC), a variant of familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP). AAPC is recognized by the occurrence of 40 years).

Adenomatous polyposis coli, protein kinases, protein tyrosine phosphatase: The effect of sulindac

Journal of Surgical Oncology, 1995
AbstractA putative explanation of the effect of sulindac on adenomatous colon and duodenal polyps from clinical observations and related in vitro experiments is presented. In cells with mutant APC genes, persistent high prostaglandin content of polyps leads to desensitization, downregulation of adenylate cyclase, uncoupling of cAMP synthesis from ...

The adenomatous polyposis coli tumor suppressor protein and microtubule dynamics

Current Colorectal Cancer Reports, 2007
Colorectal cancer is closely associated with mutation of the gene encoding the adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) tumor suppressor protein. A role has been defined for APC in the Wnt signaling pathway, in which it is responsible for mediating the degradation of the protein β-catenin.

Detection of Cytoplasmic and Nuclear Localization of Adenomatous Polyposis Coli (APC) Protein in Cells

2008
The adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) tumour suppressor gene is mutated in the majority of colon cancers. APC is a multi-domain protein whose distribution at different subcellular locations correlates with unique cellular processes. Our laboratory has focused on the link between APC subcellular location and function, and has characterized pathways for ...

Regulated nuclear import of the adenomatous polyposis coli protein.

2012
Mutation of the Adenomatous Polyposis Coli (APC) gene is an early step in the development of colorectal carcinomas. To provide clues for APC's role in tumor suppression, the subcellular distribution of APC was studied, and APC was found to localize to both the cytoplasm and the nucleus of normal human epithelial cells. The objectives of this study were

Expressions of two adenomatous polyposis coli and E-cadherin proteins on human colorectal cancers

Virchows Archiv, 2003
Mutations in the adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) gene contribute to the progression of colorectal tumorigenesis. Despite the importance, few studies regarding the localization of this protein on surgically resected human colorectal cancer specimens using immunohistochemistry have been reported so far because of the unavailability of the antibodies for

APC GENE-MUTATIONS IN FAMILIAL ADENOMATOUS POLYPOSIS-COLI IDENTIFIED AT THE DNA AND PROTEIN LEVEL

International Journal of Oncology, 1993
Peripheral blood cell DNA of patients suffering from Familial Adenomatous Polyposis coli (FAP) were subjected to SSCP screening analyses. Here, we report on a patient, who was diagnosed at the age of 31 years suffering from a severe form of adenomatous polyposis coli.

Ca2+ regulates the subcellular localization of adenomatous polyposis coli tumor suppressor protein

Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 2009
Microtubule (MT) plus-end tracking proteins (+TIPs) are involved in the regulation of MT plus-end dynamics and stabilization. It was reported previously that an increase in intracellular Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)) induced by disruption of the plasma membrane stimulates rearrangement of MTs [T.
