Loss of Mitochondrial Tumor Suppressor Genes Expression Is Associated with Unfavorable Clinical Outcome in Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma: Data from Retrospective Study. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Mitochondrial genes play important roles in cellular energy metabolism, free radical generation, and apoptosis. Dysregulation of these genes have long been suspected to contribute to the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), increased ...

DLC2 modulates angiogenic responses in vascular endothelial cells by regulating cell attachment and migration. [PDF]
, 2010 Deleted in liver cancer 1 (DLC1) is a RhoGTPase activation protein-containing tumor suppressor that associates with various types of cancer. Although DLC2 shares a similar domain structure with that of DLC1, the function of DLC2 is not well characterized.

Oncogenic context shapes the fitness landscape of tumor suppression
Nature Communications, 2023 Tumors acquire alterations in oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes in an adaptive walk through the fitness landscape of tumorigenesis. However, the interactions between oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes that shape this landscape remain poorly resolved

The role of histone deacetylases in human gastrointestinal and associated glands cancer [PDF]
Journal of Advanced Biomedical Sciences, 2019 Background & Objective: In the eukaryotic cells, the DNA wraps around the histone proteins (H2A, H2B, H3, and H4) and constitutes the nucleosome. Chromatin organization plays a major role in the control of gene expression.

EVALUATING THE THERAPEUTIC EFFICACY OF RESTORING WILD-TYPE P53 ACTIVITY IN P53-MUTANT TUMORS [PDF]
, 2017 The p53 transcription factor is the most frequently altered in human cancers usually via missense mutations that undermine its transcriptional activity. Clinically, TP53 mutations have been shown to be remarkably predictive of refractoriness to treatment,

Prognostic significance of mutated genes in megakaryocytic disorders
Oncology Reviews, 2019 Megakaryopoiesis is a process during which platelets that play a major role in hemostasis are produced due to differentiation and maturation of megakaryocytic precursors.

Some facts and thoughts: p73 as a tumor suppressor gene in the network of tumor suppressors
Molecular Cancer, 2007 The question of whether p73 is a tumor suppressor gene, is not yet answered with full confidence. The lack of spontaneous tumor formation in p73 null mice and infrequent p73 mutations seen in a variety of cancers analyzed would straightaway negate its ...

p53 target ANKRA2 cooperates with RFX7 to regulate tumor suppressor genes
Cell Death DiscoveryThe transcription factor regulatory factor X 7 (RFX7) has been identified as a tumor suppressor that is recurrently mutated in lymphoid cancers and appears to be dysregulated in many other cancers. RFX7 is activated by the well-known tumor suppressor p53
