San Diego, CA 92121, USA Tel: 858-263-4982 Email: [email protected] 36-3485: Anti-RCAS1 / Estrogen Receptor Binding Site Associated, Antigen 9 Monoclonal Antibody(Clone: CPTC-EBAG9-2) Clonality : Monoclonal Clone Name : CPTC-EBAG9-2 Application : IHC Reactivity : Human Gene : EBAG9 Gene ID : 9166 Uniprot ID : O00559 BAG9; cancer associated surface antigen; cancer associated surface antigen RCAS1; EB9; Alternative Name : estrogen receptor binding fragment associated gene 9; PDAF; receptor binding cancer antigen expressed on SiSo cells Isotype : Mouse IgG2a, kappa Immunogen Information : Recombinant full-length human EBAG9 protein Description EBAG9, also known as RCAS1, is an estrogen-transcribed protein. Soluble and membranous RCAS1 proteins may play a role in the immune escape of tumor cells by promoting T lymphocyte inhibition of growth and apoptosis. RCAS1 is expressed in a wide variety of cancers, including uterine, ovarian, and lung cancer cells, and acts as a ligand for a putative receptor present on peripheral lymphocytes. RCAS1 is highly expressed not only in cancer cells but also in non-tumor bile duct cells subject to immune attack. RCAS1 inhibits the in vitro growth of receptor-expressing cells and induces apoptosis, contributing to the ability of tumor cells to evade host immune surveillance. High expression of RCAS1 significantly correlates with tumor progression and with poor outcome for many cancer patients.

  • Differential Gene Regulation by the SRC Family of Coactivators
    Downloaded from genesdev.cshlp.org on September 29, 2021 - Published by Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press Differential gene regulation by the SRC family of coactivators Hua Zhang,1 Xia Yi,1 Xiaojing Sun, Na Yin, Bin Shi, Huijian Wu, Dan Wang, Ge Wu, and Yongfeng Shang2 Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Peking University Health Science Center, Beijing 100083, China SRCs (steroid receptor coactivators) are required for nuclear receptor-mediated transcription and are also implicated in the transcription initiation by other transcription factors, such as STATs and NF␬B. Despite phenotypic manifestations in gene knockout mice for SRC-1, GRIP1, and AIB1 of the SRC (Steroid Receptor Coactivator) family indicating their differential roles in animal physiology, there is no clear evidence, at the molecular level, to support a functional specificity for these proteins. We demonstrated in this report that two species of SRC coactivators, either as AIB1:GRIP1 or as AIB1:SRC-1 are recruited, possibly through heterodimerization, on the promoter of genes that contain a classical hormone responsive element (HRE). In contrast, on non-HRE-containing gene promoters, on which steroid receptors bind indirectly, either GRIP1 or SRC-1 is recruited as a monomer, depending on the cellular abundance of the protein. Typically, non-HRE-containing genes are early genes activated by steroid receptors, whereas HRE-containing genes are activated later. Our results also showed that SRC proteins contribute to the temporal regulation of gene transcription. In addition, our experiments revealed a positive correlation between AIB1/c-myc overexpression in ER+ breast carcinoma samples, suggesting a possible mechanism for AIB1 in breast cancer carcinogenesis.

  • Identification of Novel Prognosis-Related Genes Associated
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Identifcation of novel prognosis- related genes associated with cancer using integrative network Received: 9 October 2017 Accepted: 8 February 2018 analysis Published: xx xx xxxx YongKiat Wee1, Yining Liu2, Jiachun Lu2,3, Xiaoyan Li4 & Min Zhao1 Prognosis identifes the seriousness and the chances of survival of a cancer patient. However, it remains a challenge to identify the key cancer genes in prognostic studies. In this study, we collected 2064 genes that were related to prognostic studies by using gene expression measurements curated from published literatures. Among them, 1820 genes were associated with copy number variations (CNVs). The further functional enrichment on 889 genes with frequent copy number gains (CNGs) revealed that these genes were signifcantly associated with cancer pathways including regulation of cell cycle, cell diferentiation and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascade. We further conducted integrative analyses of CNV and their target genes expression using the data from matched tumour samples of The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA). Ultimately, 95 key prognosis-related genes were extracted, with concordant CNG events and increased up-regulation in at least 300 tumour samples. These genes, and the number of samples in which they were found, included: ACTL6A (399), ATP6V1C1 (425), EBAG9 (412), FADD (308), MTDH (377), and SENP5 (304). This study provides the frst observation of CNV in prognosis- related genes across pan-cancer. The systematic concordance between CNG and up-regulation of gene expression in these novel prognosis-related genes may indicate their prognostic signifcance. Prognosis, diagnosis and treatment are key components in medicine. Cancer prognosis involves an assessment of how the disease will afect the individual and an estimation of life expectancy.
