Disease relevance of DCC

  • Heterozygous mutations are thought to lead to a loss of function and result in congenital mirror movements. In the heterozygous mouse neuronal axons fail to cross the midline resulting in absence of the corpus callosum and hippocampal commissure [1].
  • DCC (deleted in colorectal cancer) is postulated to function as transmembrane receptor for the axon and cell guidance factor netrin-1 [2].
  • Four of the five tumors with associated adenocarcinoma showed LOH of the DCC gene; in three of these four tumors, the PDNC and adenomatous components showed LOH of the same allele [3].
  • These findings suggest epitope spreading between the Tr antigen and the MAZ-DCC complex and offer a possible model of immune-mediated cerebellar disease [4].
  • Alterations of the p53 and DCC genes occurred frequently both in differentiated and in undifferentiated gastric carcinomas [5].
  • LOH at the DCC locus was a frequent occurrence in carcinomas (58 per cent; 11/19 informative cases) but was infrequent in adenomas (14 per cent; 1/7) [5].

Associations of DCC with chemical compounds

  • Inhibition of Src family kinases reduced DCC tyrosine phosphorylation and blocked both axon attraction and outgrowth of neurons in response to netrin [11].
  • We also find no evidence for an interaction between DCC and heparin and instead demonstrate that a loop on the fifth fibronectin type III repeat of DCC previously implicated in mediating interactions with heparin is important for sNetrin binding [24].
  • Mucosal protein levels of DCC were also reduced in 7 of 10 (70%) placebo-treated patients compared to only 2 of 10 (20%) of patients treated with folate [13].
  • Heparinase and heparitinase treatment of cells reduced binding of DCC-Ig, suggesting that heparan sulfate proteoglycans are cell-surface DCC ligand(s) [14].
  • Here we show that DCC in both commissural neurons and immortalized cells, is partially associated with cholesterol- and sphingolipid-enriched membrane domains named lipid rafts [25].
 

Physical interactions of DCC

  • Together our results indicate that the growth-promoting function of netrin-1 may require a receptor complex containing DCC and A2b [26].
  • In neuronal cells, MAZ interacts with DCC (Deleted in Colorectal Cancer product), the receptor for netrin-1, a neuronal survival factor [4].
  • A mutant Siah protein lacking the amino-terminal Ubc-binding sequences complexed with DCC, but did not degrade it [2].
  • Removal of the DCC-interacting domain on DIP13 alpha abolishes its ability to enhance DCC-induced apoptosis [27].
 

Enzymatic interactions of DCC

 

Regulatory relationships of DCC

  • Specific ubiquitin-proteasome inhibitors prevented the netrin-induced DCC cleavage and decrease of cell surface DCC [32].
  • Taken together, the data imply that the Sina/Siah proteins regulate DCC and perhaps other proteins via the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway [2].
  • Expression of DCC did not modulate constitutive or induced expression of MUC2, nor did DCC induce a mature goblet cell phenotype [33].
  • Inhibition of endogenous DIP13 alpha expression by small interfering RNA blocks DCC-induced apoptosis [27].
 

Other interactions of DCC

  • Previous studies have failed to show a direct interaction of DCC with netrin-1 (ref. 10), suggesting the possibility of an additional receptor or co-receptor [26].
  • These data demonstrate localization of a gene for FJP to chromosome 18q21.1 by linkage, and they raise the possibility that either DCC or DPC4 could be responsible for FJP [19].
  • This analysis revealed frequent deletions in known tumor suppressor genes (RB1, DCC, NME), a number of previously described sites of candidate tumor suppressor genes (3p, 9p, 9q, 10q, 11p, 11q and 17p), as well as several novel sites (2p, 3q, 5p, 12q, 18p and 20p) [34].
  • Interestingly, only the N-terminal domain (LNT) could bind to DCC and UNC5H1 [35].
  • Immunofluorescence studies suggested the Sina/Siah proteins localized predominantly in the cytoplasm and in association with DCC [2].
