mTOR Signaling and Cancer Progression

The mammalian target of rapamycin or mTOR protein was discovered in 1994 due to its direct interaction with rapamycin. The protein gets its name from a yeast homolog called TOR. The mTOR protein complex in mammalian cells plays a major role in balancing anabolic processes such as the synthesis of proteins, lipids, and nucleotides and catabolic processes, such as autophagy in response to environmental cues, such as availability of nutrients and growth factors.
The mTOR pathway or the...

Cancer-Critical Genes II: Tumor Suppressor Genes

Genes usually encode proteins necessary for the proper functioning of a healthy cell. Mutations can often cause changes to the gene expression pattern, thereby altering the phenotype.
When the function of certain critical genes, especially those involved in cell cycle regulation and cell growth signaling cascades, gets disrupted, it upsets the cell cycle progression. Such cells with unchecked cell cycles start proliferating uncontrollably and eventually develop into tumors.
Such genes that act...

Protein Networks

Protein Networks

An organism can have thousands of different proteins, and these proteins must cooperate to ensure the health of an organism. Proteins bind to other proteins and form complexes to carry out their functions. Many proteins interact with multiple other proteins creating a complex network of protein interactions.
These interactions can be represented through maps depicting protein-protein interaction networks, represented as nodes and edges. Nodes are circles that are representative of a protein,...

Area of Science:

Oncology
Molecular Biology
Genetics

Background:

Osteosarcoma diagnosis and therapy have advanced, yet molecular mechanisms remain poorly understood.
Identifying novel drug-targeted genes is crucial for improving osteosarcoma treatment outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

To investigate molecular mechanisms driving osteosarcoma development and progression.
To identify potential novel therapeutic target genes for osteosarcoma.

Main Methods:

Differential gene expression analysis between osteosarcoma and normal samples.
Construction of a differential expression network and pathway-enrichment analysis.
Centrality analysis to identify hub genes critical for osteosarcoma progression.

Main Results:

Identified 176 differentially expressed genes (82 upregulated, 94 downregulated).
Constructed a network with 1043 nodes and 992 gene pairs.
Discovered six hub genes (APP, UBC, CAND1, RPA, YWHAG, NEDD8), with UBC and RPA identified as disease genes.

Conclusions:

UBC and RPA are significant hub genes implicated in osteosarcoma.
These genes present potential as diagnostic and therapeutic targets for osteosarcoma.
