Disease relevance of ZNF217

  • CCND1 amplifications were associated with the pharyngeal site in primary carcinomas (P < 0.001), whereas amplifications of ZNF217 were less frequent in pharyngeal carcinomas as compared with primary oral and laryngeal carcinomas (P = 0.02) [1].
  • The amplification of Her2/neu or ZNF217 is closely associated with the stages of breast cancer [2].
  • In multivariate analysis, stage, grade, amount of residual tumor, and ZNF217 amplification showed independent prognostic value (all P < .05) [3].
  • The utility of QuMA is demonstrated in assessment of the extent of deletions of chromosome 2 in leukemias arising in radiation-sensitive inbred SJL mice and in analysis of the association of increased copy number of the putative oncogene ZNF217 with reduced survival duration in ovarian cancer patients [4].
  • In this study we have found that ZNF217 amplification is a frequent event in colon cancer and that the extent of its amplification varies markedly between tumours (range 3-13 copies) [5].
 

High impact information on ZNF217

  • The putative oncogene ZNF217 (ref. 5) mapped to one peak, and CYP24 (encoding vitamin D 24 hydroxylase), whose overexpression is likely to lead to abrogation of growth control mediated by vitamin D, mapped to the other [6].
  • ZNF217 and NABC1 emerged as strong candidate oncogenes and were characterized in detail [7].
  • ZNF217 is centrally located in the 260-kb common region of amplification, transcribed in multiple normal tissues, and overexpressed in all cell lines and tumors in which it is amplified and in two in which it is not [7].
  • ZNF217 is predicted to encode alternately spliced, Kruppel-like transcription factors of 1,062 and 1,108 aa, each having a DNA-binding domain (eight C2H2 zinc fingers) and a proline-rich transcription activation domain [7].
  • We show that the large zinc finger protein ZNF217 contacts CtBP [8] .
  • Alternative purification schemes of a native ZNF217 multisubunit complex reveal the assembly of complementary co-repressors associated with histone lysine demethylase activity by JARID1B/PLU-1 distinct of specific LSD1/AOF2 -mediated histone lysine demethylation [9].

Other interactions of ZNF217

  • Positional cloning of ZNF217 and NABC1: genes amplified at 20q13.2 and overexpressed in breast carcinoma [7].
  • Her2/neu, ZNF217 and c-MYC were found to have a significantly increased copy number in breast cancer cells [2].
  • Of the genes amplified in breast cancer, the BTAK gene was amplified in 21%, the MYBL2 gene in 17%, and the ZNF217 gene in 12.5% of the sporadic tumors [15].
  • Expression levels of PTPN1 and ZNF217 were significantly correlated with their copy-numbers in those primary OCs [16].
  • In univariate analysis, residual tumor, FIGO stage and grade, ZNF217 amplification, and CAS levels predicted outcome (all P < .05) [3].
