Disease relevance of CYFIP2

 

High impact information on CYFIP2

  • These studies suggest that overabundance of CYFIP2 protein facilitates increased adhesion properties of T cells from MS patients [1].
  • Finally, inhibition of Rac-1 or reduction of CYFIP2 protein decreased fibronectin-mediated adhesion in CD4(+) cells from MS patients to levels similar to controls [1].
  • First, adenoviral-mediated overexpression of CYFIP2 in Jurkat cells increased fibronectin-mediated adhesion [1].
  • Inducible expression of CYFIP2 is sufficient for caspase activation and cellular apoptosis, reminiscent of p53 activation [2].
  • Here we show that the CYFIP2 promoter contains a p53-responsive element that confers p53 binding as well as transcriptional activation of a heterologous reporter [2].
 

Associations of CYFIP2 with chemical compounds

 

Other interactions of CYFIP2

  • Western analysis confirmed that CYFIP2 protein was increased approximately fourfold in CD4(+) cells from MS compared to inflammatory bowel disorder (IBD) patients or healthy controls [1].
 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of CYFIP2

  • DNA microarray profiling of CD4(+) and CD8(+) cells from non-treated relapsing and remitting multiple sclerosis (MS) patients determined that the cytoplasmic binding partner of fragile X protein (CYFIP2, also called PIR121) was increased significantly compared to healthy controls [1].
