Disease relevance of DBC1

 

High impact information on DBC1

  • Exogenous overexpression of DBC1 in NSCLC cell lines lacking its expression inhibited cell growth [1].
  • Hypermethylation in part of a CpG island around the exon 1 of DBC1 has been reported in urothelial cancers, but the potential association between methylation and expression status was never clarified in that disease [1].
  • Our results provide the first evidence that DBC1 is a likely tumor suppressor for NSCLC; silencing of the gene through homozygous deletion or methylation of its promoter region may be associated with progression of this disease [1].
  • Among our primary NSCLC cases, methylation of the DBC1 promoter occurred more frequently in men, elderly patients and smokers than in women, younger patients and nonsmokers respectively, but it was not correlated with tumor stage or histology [1].
  • All shared INK4a/ARF gene locus deletion and epigenetic silencing of the DBCCR1 tumor suppressor gene [6].
 

Biological context of DBC1

 

Anatomical context of DBC1

  • Although DBCCR1 was expressed in multiple normal human tissues including urothelium, mRNA expression was absent in 5 of 10 (50%) bladder cancer cell lines [8].
 

Associations of DBC1 with chemical compounds

 

Other interactions of DBC1

 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of DBC1

  • The present study addressed expression of DBCCR1 in gliomas, specifically in astrocytomas, using semi-quantitative RT-PCR on 25 tumours of different malignancy grade and on 5 control brain tissue samples [4].
  • DNA from 34 tumours was examined for loss of heterozygosity (LOH) at three markers surrounding DBCCR1 and for hypermethylation of the DBCCR1 promoter, using methylation-specific PCR and methylation-specific melting-curve analysis [5].
