Disease relevance of Men1

  • Gene expression profiling in insulinomas of Men1 {beta}-cell mutant mice reveals early genetic and epigenetic events involved in pancreatic {beta}-cell tumorigenesis [1].
  • Menin also alters the structure of the chromatin surrounding the promoter of the IGFBP-2 gene, as demonstrated by the deoxyribonuclease I hypersensitivity assay [2].
  • The delay in tumor appearance, even with early loss of both copies of Men1, implies that additional somatic events are required for adenoma formation in beta cells [3].
  • Conditional homozygous inactivation of the Men1 gene in the pituitary gland and endocrine pancreas bypasses the embryonic lethality associated with a constitutional Men1(-/-) genotype and leads to beta-cell hyperplasia in less than 4 months and insulinomas and prolactinomas starting at 9 months [4].
  • Here, we show that loss of Men1 gene function in the parathyroid glands of mice results in histological changes consistent with parathyroid neoplasia as well as systemic hypercalcemia [5].

Chemical compound and disease context of Men1

 

Biological context of Men1

  • Combined mutations of p27(-)(/)(-) and Men1(+/)(-), in contrast, did not exhibit noticeable synergistic stimulation of Rb kinase activity, cell proliferation, and tumor growth [12].
  • The tumor suppressor gene Men1, which is frequently mutated in MEN1 patients, encodes the nuclear protein menin [13].
  • Men1 in these mice contains exons 3 to 8 flanked by loxP sites, such that, when the mice are crossed to transgenic mice expressing cre from the rat insulin promoter (RIP-cre), exons 3 to 8 are deleted in beta cells [3].
  • Furthermore, Men1 null livers generally displayed an altered organization of the epithelial and hematopoietic compartments associated with enhanced apoptosis [14].
  • However, primary Men1 null embryonic fibroblasts entered senescence earlier than their wild-type counterparts [14].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Men1

  • By RNA in situ hybridization and Northern analysis the spatiotemporal expression pattern of Men1 was determined during mouse development [27].
  • By 5' RACE and RT-PCR four alternative splice variants were identified, indicating a 5' heterogeneity of Men1 similar to the human counterpart [28].
  • In order to identify menin-interacting proteins we used a yeast two-hybrid assay to screen a 12.5-dpc mouse embryo library with partial menin encompassing amino acids 278 to 476 [15].
  • To study tumorigenesis related to the MEN1 syndrome, we have generated Men1 knockout mice using the gene targeting approach [29].
  • We found that overexpression of menin in an inducible cell culture system down-regulated the proximal promoter [30].
