Promoter Hypermethylation of Tumor Suppressor Genes Located on Short Arm of the Chromosome 3 as Potential Biomarker for the Diagnosis of Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma

Diagnostics, 2021
DNA methylation, the most common epigenetic alteration, has been proven to play important roles in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). Numerous tumor suppressor genes located on the chromosome 3p, particularly in the region of 3p21, are frequently methylated

WWOX tumor suppressor gene.

Histology and histopathology, 2008
Loss of heterozygosity and chromosomal rearrangement of the WWOX gene, which is located at 16q23.3-24.1, have been detected in ovarian, breast, hepatocellular, and prostate carcinomas and in other neoplasias. This gene, which spans the common chromosomal fragile site 16D, contains 9 exons and encodes a 46 kDa WWOX protein that contains 414 amino acids.

Prevention of Tumor Growth and Dissemination by In Situ Vaccination with Mitochondria‐Targeted Atovaquone

Advanced Science, 2022
Atovaquone, an FDA‐approved drug for malaria, is known to inhibit mitochondrial electron transport. A recently synthesized mitochondria‐targeted atovaquone increased mitochondrial accumulation and antitumor activity in vitro. Using an in situ vaccination

Overexpression of microRNA-16 declines cellular growth, proliferation and induces apoptosis in human breast cancer cells [PDF]

, 2015
MicroRNAs (miRNA) are a large family of small single-stranded RNA molecules found in all multicellular organisms. Early studies have been shown that miRNA are involved in cancer development and progression, and this role can be done by working as an ...

The N-Terminal Region of the Transcription Factor E2F1 Contains a Novel Transactivation Domain and Recruits General Transcription Factor GTF2H2

Biomolecules
The transcription factor E2F1 is the principal target of the tumor suppressor pRB. E2F1 promotes cell proliferation by activating growth-promoting genes upon growth stimulation.

Breast Cancer Stem Cells and Tumor Suppressor Genes

Journal of the Formosan Medical Association, 2008
Studies of breast cancer stem cells are in their infancy and many fundamental questions have yet to be fully addressed. The molecular distinction between normal and cancerous breast stem cells is not clear.

RB loss contributes to aggressive tumor phenotypes in MYC-driven triple negative breast cancer [PDF]

, 2015
Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) is characterized by multiple genetic events occurring in concert to drive pathogenic features of the disease. Here we interrogated the coordinate impact of p53, RB, and MYC in a genetic model of TNBC, in parallel with

Role of enhancer of zeste homolog 2 polycomb protein and its significance in tumor progression and cell differentiation [PDF]

, 2013
Epigenetics is a branch of genetics that focuses on the heritable changes of DNA or associated proteins, other than DNA sequence variations, which carry information content during cell division [1,2].
