Expression of the IL-11 Gene in Metastatic Cells Is Supported by Runx2-Smad and Runx2-cJun Complexes Induced by TGFβ1. [PDF]
In tumor cells, two factors are abnormally increased that contribute to metastatic bone disease: Runx2, a transcription factor that promotes expression of metastasis related and osteolytic genes; and IL-11, a secreted osteolytic cytokine.

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 ...

Dynamic expression of genes associated with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder across development [PDF]
Common genetic variation contributes a substantial proportion of risk for both schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. Furthermore, there is evidence of significant, but not complete, overlap in genetic risk between the two disorders.

Common Chromosomal Fragile Site Gene WWOX in Metabolic Disorders and Tumors [PDF]
WWOX, a gene that spans the second most common chromosomal fragile site (FRA16D), often exhibits homozygous deletions and translocation breakpoints under multiple cellular stresses induced by extrinsic or intrinsic factors, such as hypoxia, UV, and DNA damage regents.

Tumor suppressor WWOX and p53 alterations and drug resistance in glioblastomas
Tumor suppressor p53 are frequently mutated in glioblastomas (GBMs) and appears to contribute, in part, to resistance to temozolomide and therapeutic drugs.

Molecular alterations in the tumor suppressor gene WWOX in oral leukoplakias [PDF]
Oral leukoplakia is the most prevalent and potentially malignant disorder of the oral mucosa. Previous studies have demonstrated that molecular changes of the WWOX gene (WW-domain containing oxidoreductase), a candidate tumor suppressor gene located at 16q23.3-24.1 that spans FRA16D, the second most common fragile site, are present in several malignant

Expression of Hyaluronan Synthases (HAS1–3) and Hyaluronidases (HYAL1–2) in Serous Ovarian Carcinomas: Inverse Correlation between HYAL1 and Hyaluronan Content [PDF]
Background Hyaluronan, a tumor promoting extracellular matrix polysaccharide, is elevated in malignant epithelial ovarian tumors, and associates with an unfavorable prognosis.
