Disease relevance of BIRC5

  • This expression profile suggested involvement of apoptosis regulators in astrocytoma tumorigenesis, but tumor progression was more closely associated with proliferative advantages of which BIRC5 nuclear expression appeared to be a manifestation [1].
  • In cell lines representing aggressive lymphomas, NF-kappaB inhibition resulted in a decrease in BIRC5/Survivin expression [2].
  • In parallel with this observation, BIRC5/Survivin expression was higher in Burkitt's lymphoma and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma than in non-tumoural germinal centre cells [2].
  • Do the survivin (BIRC5) splice variants modulate or add to the prognostic value of total survivin in breast cancer [3]?
  • Gene copy number gain of BIRC5 was detected in 33.9% (150/227) of cases, which correlated significantly with high UICC stage and the presence of lymph node metastases (p = 0.003 and p = 0.001, respectively), but not with unfavorable patients' outcome (p > 0.05) in multivariate analysis [4].

Associations of BIRC5 with chemical compounds

  • Decreases in CyclinB2 and BIRC5 mRNA induced by FK506 or retinoic acid, both of which exert potentiation of NGF-induced neurite outgrowth effects but with different mechanisms, also correlated with their neurite outgrowth activities [16].
  • Nonregulated ethylbenzene was detected in one soil sample from API 4, one from API 5 and two from API 1 [17].
 

Other interactions of BIRC5

  • A set of genes was identified whose expression correlates either with BIRC5/Survivin or with BCL2 [2].
  • These results suggest that p53 is functional in the absence of p14(ARF) in MPM and that targeting of the downstream apoptosis inhibitor survivin can sensitize to CDDP-induced apoptosis [18].
  • This study indicates that monitored natural attenuation may be a technically feasible and efficient means for plume control in API 1, 4 and 5, provided the plumes in API 4 and 5 are not expanding [17].
  • Here, we show that an antisense oligonucleotide to the apoptosis inhibitor survivin suppressed de novo expression of survivin in ECs by vascular endothelial cell growth factor (VEGF) [19].
