The effects of protocadherin 8 and WWOX in prostate adenocarcinoma
Objective: The protocadherin 8 (PCDH8) gene, located on chromosome 13q14.3 encodes an integral membrane protein. WWOX (fragile site FRA16D oxido-reductase) is a tumor suppressor gene located in region 16q23.324.1. The aim of this study was to investigate

LncRNA WWOX-AS1 sponges miR-20b-5p in hepatocellular carcinoma and represses its progression by upregulating WWOX [PDF]
Increasing evidence has revealed that long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) emerge as pivotal regulators in diverse cancers, including hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). This study was conducted to investigate the role of lncRNA WWOX antisense RNA 1 (WWOX-AS1) in HCC progression.

Background Tumor suppressor WWOX physically binds p53 and TIAF1 and together induces apoptosis and tumor suppression. To understand the molecular action, here we investigated the formation of WWOX/TIAF1/p53 triad and its regulation of cancer cell ...

Tumor suppressive functions of WWOX.
WWOX interacts with signaling molecules in the cytoplasm and prevents their entry to the nucleus to modulate their tumorigenic pathways. Upon stress such as ionizing radiation (IR), ultraviolet radiation (UV), or maybe even neuronal injury, WWOX enters ...

Phosphorylation/de-phosphorylation in specific sites of tumor suppressor WWOX and control of distinct biological events [PDF]
Abnormal differentiation and growth of hematopoietic stem cells cause the development of hematopoietic diseases and hematopoietic malignancies. However, the molecular events underlying leukemia development are not well understood.

Wwox mRNA expression in BK5-Cre model of Wwox deletion.
qRT-PCR was used to determine the mRNA expression of Wwox in mammary epithelial organoids from BK5 Wwox WT and KO animals. The box plots show dramatically decreased Wwox mRNA levels in epithelium from 8 week virgin (A) and P18.5 days (B) Wwox KO mammary ...

WWOX: a tumor suppressor gene mutated in multiple cancers [PDF]
The present invention provides the isolation and cloning of WWOX, a novel WW domain-containing protein mapping to human chromosome 16q23.3–24.1, a region frequently affected in several cancers.

Introduction to a Thematic Issue for WWOX [PDF]
Since its discovery in 2000, WW domain-containing oxidoreductase (WWOX, FOR or WOX1) has been considered as a tumor suppressor protein. Global research focus has been aimed mainly toward this direction. In this thematic issue, updated information has been collected regarding the structure, function and signaling of WWOX, along with its critical role as
