概括
BRAF基因有两个主要变体,BRAF-204和BRAF-220. BRAF-204在癌症中更常见,而BRAF-204与BRAF-220的高比率预测癌的结果不好.
科学领域:
- 在瘤学瘤学.
- 生物信息学是一种生物信息学.
- 基因组学就是基因组学.
背景情况:
- BRAFV600E突变激酶是一个关键的癌症驱动器和治疗点.
- 准确的区分和BRAF变体的量化对于癌症研究至关重要.
- 公共数据库对BRAF变体的注释已经发展,这带来了挑战.
研究的目的:
- 调查公共数据库中BRAF-ref (BRAF-220) 和BRAF-X1 (BRAF-204) 标注的演变情况.
- 开发和应用一个生物信息管道 (IsoWorm) 来区分和量化BRAF变体.
- 分析BRAF变异在癌症中的表达水平和临床意义.
主要方法:
- 开发IsoWorm生物信息管道用于BRAF变种分析.
- 使用IsoWorm分析了>600个癌细胞系和>1000个癌细胞组织样本.
- 使用FLIBase对TCGA数据 (>9000个癌症组织样本) 的重新分析.
主要成果:
- BRAF-X1 (现在的BRAF-204) 在人类癌症中非常丰富,表达率比BRAF-ref (现在的BRAF-220) 大1.5-75倍.
- 较高的BRAF-204/BRAF-220比率是一个独立的预后因素,用于脏状细胞癌 (KIRP) 的不良结果.
- 在分析证实,BRAF包括两个蛋白质编码的转录变体,其中BRAF-204表达更高.
结论:
- 癌症中的BRAF基因表达是两个变体的混合物,BRAF-204和BRAF-220,其中BRAF-204占主导地位.
- BRAF-204/BRAF-220比率在特定癌症亚型 (如KIRP) 中具有显著的预后影响.
- 需要进一步研究BRAF-204与BRAF-220的分子机制,生物活性,可药性和临床相关性.

The Ras Gene
7.1K
The Ras-gene-encoded proteins are regulators of signaling pathways controlling cell proliferation, differentiation, or cell survival. The Ras-gene family in humans constitutes three primary members—the HRas, NRas, and KRas. These genes code for four functionally distinct yet closely related proteins—the HRas, NRas, KRas4A, and KRas4B. The involvement of mutant Ras genes in human cancer was first discovered in 1982 and is among the most common causes of human tumorigenesis.

The Retinoblastoma Gene
4.7K
Tumor suppressor genes are normal genes that can slow down cell division, repair DNA mistakes, or program the cells for apoptosis in case of irreparable damage. Hence, they play an essential role in preventing the proliferation of damaged cells.
The first-ever tumor suppressor gene called Rb was identified in retinoblastoma - a rare eye tumor in children. In inherited forms of the disease, a child inherits one defective copy of the Rb gene, which predisposes them to retinoblastoma. However,...

Cancer-Critical Genes II: Tumor Suppressor Genes
9.4K
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...

Non-LTR Retrotransposons
13.2K
As the name suggests, non-LTR retrotransposons lack the long terminal repeats characteristic of the LTR retrotransposons. Additionally, both LTR and non-LTR retrotransposons use distinct mechanisms of mobilization. Non-LTR retrotransposons are further divided into two classes - Long interspersed nuclear elements (LINEs) and short interspersed nuclear elements (SINEs), both of which occur abundantly in most mammals, including humans. Some of the active non-LTR retrotransposons in humans are L1...

RNA Splicing
60.4K
Splicing is the process by which eukaryotic RNA is edited before its translation into protein. The RNA strand transcribed from eukaryotic DNA is called the primary transcript. The primary transcripts that become mRNAs are called precursor messenger RNAs (pre-mRNAs). Eukaryotic pre-mRNA contains alternating sequences of exons and introns. Exons are nucleotide sequences that code for proteins, whereas introns are the non-coding regions. In RNA splicing, introns are removed and exons are bonded...
