- 生物化学 生物化学
背景情况:
- 酸酶INPP4B和PTEN是重要的瘤抑制剂,在晚期转移性癌症中经常丢失.
- 前列腺癌中PTEN的损失最初会触发补偿性瘤抑制器的上调,从而减缓小鼠的疾病进展.
研究的目的:
- 调查INPP4B损失是否会在前列腺组织中引起与PTEN损失相似的补偿反应.
- 确定INPP4B损失的补偿反应与PTEN损失的补偿反应是否不同.

- 在人类前列腺癌细胞系中抑制INPP4B和PTEN.
- 在小鼠前列腺上皮质中分析EZH2表达,基因素H3甲基化和蛋白质/mRNA水平 (SMAD4,Pml,p53,Akt).
- 单细胞转录基因数据分析.
主要成果:
- 在INPP4B中,但不包括PTEN,减少了细胞系中EZH2的表达.
- 在小鼠模型中,INPP4B损失减少了EZH2和基因素H3甲基化,而PTEN损失增加了EZH2.

Negative Regulator Molecules
35.4K
Positive regulators allow a cell to advance through cell cycle checkpoints. Negative regulators have an equally important role as they terminate a cell’s progression through the cell cycle—or pause it—until the cell meets specific criteria.

Abnormal Proliferation
4.5K
Under normal conditions, most adult cells remain in a non-proliferative state unless stimulated by internal or external factors to replace lost cells. Abnormal cell proliferation is a condition in which the cell's growth exceeds and is uncoordinated with normal cells. In such situations, cell division persists in the same excessive manner even after cessation of the stimuli, leading to persistent tumors. The tumor arises from the damaged cells that replicate to pass the damage to the...

Epigenetic mechanisms play an essential role in healthy development. Conversely, precisely regulated epigenetic mechanisms are disrupted in diseases like cancer.

Role of Ephrin-Eph Signalling in Intestinal Stem Cell Renewal
2.2K
Erythropoietin-producing hepatocellular carcinoma receptor (Eph) and its ligand, Eph receptor-interacting protein (Ephrin) were first discovered in the human carcinoma cell line, hence the name. Ephrin-Eph interaction guides cells to reach their appropriate location in adult tissues. They also play an essential role in the immune system by helping in immune cell migration, adhesion, and activation. Based on their structure and function, Eph is divided into two classes — EphA and EphB.

Regulation of Angiogenesis and Blood Supply
2.6K
Rapidly dividing tumors, embryos, and wounded tissues require more oxygen than usual, lowering the oxygen concentration in the blood. At low oxygen or hypoxic conditions, an oxygen-sensitive transcription factor called the hypoxia-inducible factor 1 or HIF1 is activated. HIF1 is a dimeric protein of alpha (ɑ) and beta (β) subunits. Under optimal oxygen conditions, HIF1β is present in the nucleus while HIF1ɑ remains in the cytosol. HIF1ɑ is hydroxylated by prolyl...

Regulation of Expression at Multiple Steps
917
The gene expression in cells is regulated at different stages: (i) transcription, (ii) RNA processing, (iii) RNA localization, and (iv) translation. Transcriptional regulation is mediated by regulatory proteins such as transcription factors, activators, or repressors—these control gene expression by initiating or inhibiting the transcription of genes. Once a precursor or pre-mRNA is produced, it undergoes post-transcriptional modification, including 5' capping, splicing, and the...
