Gut 2005;54:843–851. doi: 10.1136/gut.2004.049486 Background and aims: a-Fetoprotein (AFP), a tumour marker for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), is associated with poor prognosis. Using cDNA microarray analysis, we previously found that ephrin-A1, an angiogenic factor, is the most differentially overexpressed gene in AFP producing hepatoma cell lines. In the present study, we investigated the significance of ephrin-A1 expression in HCC. See end of article for Methods: We examined ephrin-A1 expression and its effect on cell proliferation and gene expression in authors’ affiliations five AFP producing hepatoma cell lines, three AFP negative hepatoma cell lines, and 20 human HCC ....................... specimens. Correspondence to: Results: Ephrin-A1 expression levels were lowest in normal liver tissue, elevated in cirrhotic tissue, and Dr S Kaneko, Department further elevated in HCC specimens. Ephrin-A1 expression was strongly correlated with AFP expression of Cancer Gene (r = 0.866). We showed that ephrin-A1 induced expression of AFP.

Inhibition of Metastasis by HEXIM1 Through Effects on Cell Invasion and Angiogenesis
Oncogene (2013) 32, 3829–3839 & 2013 Macmillan Publishers Limited All rights reserved 0950-9232/13 www.nature.com/onc ORIGINAL ARTICLE Inhibition of metastasis by HEXIM1 through effects on cell invasion and angiogenesis W Ketchart1, KM Smith2, T Krupka3, BM Wittmann1,7,YHu1, PA Rayman4, YQ Doughman1, JM Albert5, X Bai6, JH Finke4,YXu2, AA Exner3 and MM Montano1 We report on the role of hexamethylene-bis-acetamide-inducible protein 1 (HEXIM1) as an inhibitor of metastasis. HEXIM1 expression is decreased in human metastatic breast cancers when compared with matched primary breast tumors. Similarly we observed decreased expression of HEXIM1 in lung metastasis when compared with primary mammary tumors in a mouse model of metastatic breast cancer, the polyoma middle T antigen (PyMT) transgenic mouse. Re-expression of HEXIM1 (through transgene expression or localized delivery of a small molecule inducer of HEXIM1 expression, hexamethylene-bis-acetamide) in PyMT mice resulted in inhibition of metastasis to the lung. Our present studies indicate that HEXIM1 downregulation of HIF-1a protein allows not only for inhibition of vascular endothelial growth factor-regulated angiogenesis, but also for inhibition of compensatory pro- angiogenic pathways and recruitment of bone marrow-derived cells (BMDCs). Another novel finding is that HEXIM1 inhibits cell migration and invasion that can be partly attributed to decreased membrane localization of the 67 kDa laminin receptor, 67LR, and inhibition of the functional interaction of 67LR with laminin. Thus, HEXIM1 re-expression in breast cancer has therapeutic advantages by simultaneously targeting more than one pathway involved in angiogenesis and metastasis. Our results also support the potential for HEXIM1 to indirectly act on multiple cell types to suppress metastatic cancer. -

The antibody is epitope-affinity-purified from rabbit antiserum. PAD: ZMD.39 IMMUNOGEN Synthetic peptide derived from the C-terminal end of mouse ephrin-A1 protein. SPECIFICITY This antibody is specific for the ephrin-A1 protein. REACTIVITY Reactivity is confirmed with a chimeric protein consisting of the extracellular domain of mouse ephrin-A1 and the Fc region of human IgG1. Cross-reactivity with human ephrin-A1 is confirmed with IHC experiments on human tissue sections and this reactivity was expected because of the 85% shared amino acid identity in the extracellular domain.

Genome-Wide Screen for Differentially Methylated Long Noncoding Rnas
OPEN Oncogene (2017) 36, 6446–6461 www.nature.com/onc ORIGINAL ARTICLE Genome-wide screen for differentially methylated long noncoding RNAs identifies Esrp2 and lncRNA Esrp2-as regulated by enhancer DNA methylation with prognostic relevance for human breast cancer K Heilmann, R Toth, C Bossmann, K Klimo, C Plass and C Gerhauser The majority of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) is still poorly characterized with respect to function, interactions with protein- coding genes, and mechanisms that regulate their expression. As for protein-coding RNAs, epigenetic deregulation of lncRNA expression by alterations in DNA methylation might contribute to carcinogenesis. To provide genome-wide information on lncRNAs aberrantly methylated in breast cancer we profiled tumors of the C3(1) SV40TAg mouse model by MCIp-seq (Methylated CpG Immunoprecipitation followed by sequencing). This approach detected 69 lncRNAs differentially methylated between tumor tissue and normal mammary glands, with 26 located in antisense orientation of a protein-coding gene. One of the hypomethylated lncRNAs, 1810019D21Rik (now called Esrp2-antisense (as)) was identified in proximity to the epithelial splicing regulatory protein 2 (Esrp2) that is significantly elevated in C3(1) tumors. ESRPs were shown previously to have a dual role in carcinogenesis. Both gain and loss have been associated with poor prognosis in human cancers, but the mechanisms regulating expression are not known. In- depth analyses indicate that coordinate overexpression of Esrp2 and Esrp2-as inversely correlates with DNA methylation. Luciferase reporter gene assays support co-expression of Esrp2 and the major short Esrp2-as variant from a bidirectional promoter, and transcriptional regulation by methylation of a proximal enhancer. -
