Abstract The high mortality rate of gastric cancer (GC) is in part due to the absence of initial disclosure of its biomarkers. The recognition of important genes associated in GC is therefore recommended to advance clinical prognosis, diagnosis and and treatment outcomes. The current investigation used the microarray dataset GSE113255 RNA seq data from the Gene Expression Omnibus database to diagnose differentially expressed genes (DEGs). Pathway and gene ontology enrichment analyses were performed, and a proteinprotein interaction network, modules, target genes - miRNA regulatory network and target genes - TF regulatory network were constructed and analyzed. Finally, validation of hub genes was performed. The 1008 DEGs identified consisted of 505 up regulated genes and 503 down regulated genes.

Co-immunoprecipitation assays were performed as described before (2), using cyclin D1 antibody (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, sc-8396, RRID:AB_627344) or control IgG (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, sc-2025, RRID:AB_737182) followed by protein G- magnetic beads (Invitrogen) incubation and elution with Glycine 100mM pH=2.5. Co-IP experiments were performed within five weeks after cell thawing. Cyclin D1 (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, sc-753), E2F4 (Bethyl, A302-134A, RRID:AB_1720353), FOXM1 (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, sc-502, RRID:AB_631523), and CBP (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, sc-7300, RRID:AB_626817) antibodies were used for WB detection. In figure 1A and supplementary figure S2A, the same blot was probed with cyclin D1 and tubulin antibodies by cutting the membrane. In figure 2H, cyclin D1 and CBP blots correspond to the same membrane while E2F4 and FOXM1 blots correspond to an independent membrane. Image acquisition was performed with ImageQuant LAS 4000 mini (GE Healthcare). Image processing and quantification were performed with Multi Gauge software (Fujifilm). For qRT-PCR analysis, cDNA was generated from 1 µg RNA with qScript cDNA Synthesis kit (Quantabio). qRT–PCR reaction was performed using SYBR green (Roche).

To enable specific functional predictions, we categorized cellular proteins regulated 17 by HIV according to their patterns of temporal expression. We focussed on proteins depleted 18 with similar kinetics to APOBEC3C, and found the viral accessory protein Vif to be 19 necessary and sufficient for CUL5-dependent proteasomal degradation of all members of the 20 B56 family of regulatory subunits of the key cellular phosphatase PP2A (PPP2R5A-E). 21 Quantitative phosphoproteomic analysis of HIV-infected cells confirmed Vif-dependent 22 hyperphosphorylation of >200 cellular proteins, particularly substrates of the aurora kinases. 23 The ability of Vif to target PPP2R5 subunits is found in primate and non-primate lentiviral 2 24 lineages, and remodeling of the cellular phosphoproteome is therefore a second ancient and 25 conserved Vif function.

  • (PTTG1IP/PBF) Predicts Breast Cancer Survival
    Repo et al. BMC Cancer (2017) 17:705 DOI 10.1186/s12885-017-3694-6 RESEARCHARTICLE Open Access PTTG1-interacting protein (PTTG1IP/PBF) predicts breast cancer survival Heli Repo1* , Natalia Gurvits1, Eliisa Löyttyniemi2, Marjukka Nykänen3, Minnamaija Lintunen1, Henna Karra4, Samu Kurki5, Teijo Kuopio3, Kati Talvinen1, Mirva Söderström1 and Pauliina Kronqvist1 Abstract Background: PTTG1-interacting protein (PTTG1IP) is an oncogenic protein, which participates in metaphase-anaphase transition of the cell cycle through activation of securin (PTTG1). PTTG1IP promotes the shift of securin from the cell cytoplasm to the nucleus, allowing the interaction between separase and securin. PTTG1IP overexpression has been previously observed in malignant disease, e.g. in breast carcinoma. However, the prognostic value of PTTG1IP in breast carcinoma patients has not previously been revealed. Methods: A total of 497 breast carcinoma patients with up to 22-year follow-up were analysed for PTTG1IP and securin immunoexpression. The results were evaluated for correlations with the clinical prognosticators and patient survival. Results: In our material, negative PTTG1IP immunoexpression predicted a 1.5-fold risk of breast cancer death (p =0.02). However, adding securin immunoexpression to the analysis indicated an even stronger and independent prognostic power in the patient material (HR = 2.5, p < 0.0001). The subcellular location of securin was found with potential prognostic value also among the triple-negative breast carcinomas (n = 96, p = 0.052). Conclusions: PTTG1IP-negativity alone and in combination with high securin immunoexpression indicates a high risk of breast cancer death, resulting in up to 14-year survival difference in our material. Keywords: PTTG1IP, PBF, Immunohistochemistry, Breast cancer, Prognosis Background nucleus, allowing the interaction between separase and Pituitary tumour transforming gene 1 interacting pro- securin [1].

The pituitary tumor-transforming gene 1 (PTTG1) is a securin, inhibitor of premature sister chromatid segregation during mitosis and is overexpressed in many cancers.

Abstract The transcription factor (TF) p53 is the best-known tumor suppressor, but its ancient sibling p63 (ΔNp63) is a master regulator of epidermis development and a key oncogenic driver in squamous cell carcinomas (SCC). Despite multiple gene expression studies becoming available in recent years, the limited overlap of reported p63-dependent genes has made it difficult to decipher the p63 gene regulatory network (GRN).

ABSTRACT Breast cancer is a dangerous disease that results in high mortality rates for cancer patients. Many methods have been developed for the treatment and prevention of this disease. Determining the expression patterns of certain target genes in specific subtypes of breast cancer is important for developing new therapies for breast cancer.
