VOPP1 promotes breast tumorigenesis by interacting with the tumor suppressor WWOX
Background The WW domain-containing oxidoreductase (WWOX) gene, frequently altered in breast cancer, encodes a tumor suppressor whose function is mediated through its interactions with cancer-related proteins, such as the pro-apoptotic protein p73α ...

WWOX Modulates ROS-Dependent Senescence in Bladder Cancer
The tumor-suppressor gene, WW domain-containing oxidoreductase (WWOX), has been found to be lost in various types of cancers. ROS result as a tightly regulated signaling process for the induction of cell senescence.

A nuclear role for the respiratory enzyme CLK-1 in regulating mitochondrial stress responses and longevity [PDF]
The coordinated regulation of mitochondrial and nuclear activities is essential for cellular respiration and its disruption leads to mitochondrial dysfunction, a hallmark of ageing.

WWOX: A fragile tumor suppressor
WWOX, the WW domain-containing oxidoreductase gene at chromosome region 16q23.3–q24.1, spanning chromosomal fragile site FRA16D, encodes the 46 kDa Wwox protein, a tumor suppressor that is lost or reduced in expression in a wide variety of cancers, including breast, prostate, ovarian, and lung.

IntroductionThe presence of common fragile sites is associated with no-accidental chromosomal instability which occurs prior to carcinogenesis. The WWOX gene spans the second most active fragile site: FRA16D.

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

Genome-wide association analysis identifies six new loci associated with forced vital capacity [PDF]
Forced vital capacity (FVC), a spirometric measure of pulmonary function, reflects lung volume and is used to diagnose and monitor lung diseases. We performed genome-wide association study meta-analysis of FVC in 52,253 individuals from 26 studies and ...

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.

Self-aggregating TIAF1 in lung cancer progression [PDF]
Recent studies have demonstrated that transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β1)-induced antiapoptotic factor (TIAF1) is able to form aggregates in the hippocampi of middle-aged normal individuals.

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 ...
