The Role of DNA Methyltransferases in Urinary System Diseases
Multiple signaling pathways mediated by DNMTs in the formation of renal fibrosis: (a) DNMTs suppress the expression of transcription factor KLF4 by mediating promoter hypermethylation, thereby promoting epithelial–mesenchymal transition and contributing to the development of renal fibrosis; (b) oxidative stress can upregulate the levels of DNMTs, which

Association of Wwox with ErbB4 in Breast Cancer [PDF]
Abstract WWOX, WW domain-containing oxidoreductase, is a tumor suppressor that is altered in many human cancers, including breast cancer. Wwox interacts with the ErbB4 receptor, reduces nuclear translocation of the cleaved intracellular domain of ErbB4, and inhibits its transactivation function mediated through Yes-associated protein.

The WWOX gene has a WW domain containing oxidoreductase, which is located at the common fragile site FRA16D at chromosome 16q23. WWOX is a tumor suppressor gene that has been associated with several types of cancer such as hepatic, breast, lung, prostate,

WWOX (WW domain containing oxidoreductase) expression loss is common in various cancers and characteristic of poor prognosis. Deletions, translocations, and loss of expression affecting the WWOX gene are a common feature of various B cell neoplasms such ...

Decoding the Cryptic Proteome Between Antigens and Novel Functional Proteins
Unannotated splicing and translation of non‐canonical open reading frames generate a diverse repertoire of cryptic proteins. Most are rapidly degraded, rendering them possible MHC‐I substrates. Yet, a subpopulation can adopt stable structures and impart advantageous functions.

Decreased WWOX expression promotes angiogenesis in osteosarcoma
WWOX (WW domain-containing oxidoreductase) is known to be an important tumor suppressor in cancer. In this study, we used samples from 201 osteosarcoma patients to investigate the effects of WWOX on angiogenesis and invasion. WWOX levels were negatively correlated with RUNX2 and VEGF levels, but were not correlated with OPN levels.

Wwox and Ap2γ Expression Levels Predict Tamoxifen Response [PDF]
Abstract Purpose: Assessment of expression levels of Wwox, Wwox-interacting proteins Ap2α, Ap2γ, and ErbB4, the Ap2γ transcriptional target protein Her2, and the possible Ap2α transcriptional target PrkaRIα, in breast cancers, to determine their roles in tamoxifen resistance.

GISTIC2.0 facilitates sensitive and confident localization of the targets of focal somatic copy-number alteration in human cancers [PDF]
We describe methods with enhanced power and specificity to identify genes targeted by somatic copy-number alterations (SCNAs) that drive cancer growth. By separating SCNA profiles into underlying arm-level and focal alterations, we improve the estimation

53BP1 can limit sister-chromatid rupture and rearrangements driven by a distinct ultrafine DNA bridging-breakage process [PDF]
Chromosome missegregation acts as one of the driving forces for chromosome instability and cancer development. Here, we find that in human cancer cells, HeLa and U2OS, depletion of 53BP1 (p53-binding protein 1) exacerbates chromosome non-disjunction ...
