Disease relevance of MAGEC2

 

High impact information on MAGEC2

  • An antitumor cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) recognizing a MAGE-C2 antigen showed a much higher enrichment with a frequency of approximately 10%, 1,000 times higher than its blood frequency [5].
  • CTLp's recognizing MAGE-C2 and gp100 antigens were already present before vaccination, but new clonotypes appeared afterwards [6].
  • These antibodies detected several of the same tyrosine phosphoproteins in chicken embryo fibroblasts transformed by avian retroviruses Y73 and CT10, encoding the yes and crk oncogenes, respectively [7].
  • IC50imatinib was determined in pretherapy blood samples by measuring the in vitro imatinib-induced reduction of the phosphorylated form of the adaptor protein Crkl (CT10 regulator of kinase like) [8].
  • The transforming gene of the avian sarcoma virus CT10 encodes a fusion protein (p47gag-crk or v-Crk) containing viral Gag sequences fused to cellular sequences consisting primarily of Src homology regions 2 and 3 (SH2 and SH3 sequences) [9].
 

Biological context of MAGEC2

  • Chromosome mapping localized CT10 to Xq27, in close proximity to CT7/MAGE-C1 and MAGE-A genes [10].
  • The genome of avian sarcoma virus CT10 encodes a fusion protein in which viral Gag sequences are fused to cellular Crk sequences containing primarily Src homology 2 (SH2) and Src homology 3 (SH3) domains [11].
  • Melatonin (0.9 to 30 microg/mouse, s.c.) administration during 3 days at the end of the subjective day (CT 10) to C3H/HeN mice kept in constant dark phase advanced circadian rhythms of wheel running activity in a dose-dependent manner [EC50=0.72 microg/mouse; 0.98+/-0.08 h (n=15) maximal advance at 9 microg/mouse] [12].
  • We therefore suggest that the competitive binding of overexpressed v-Crk affects an efficient interaction of Csk with tyrosine-phosphorylated paxillin in CT10-transformed CEF [13].
  • We have constructed a series of mutants with deletion, linker insertion, and point mutations in the v-crk oncogene of avian sarcoma virus CT10 [14].
 

Anatomical context of MAGEC2

  • Two such proteins, HCA587 and HCA661, were predominantly detected in testis, but not in other normal tissues, except for a weak expression in normal pancreas [15].
  • Two new tumor-specific antigenic peptides encoded by gene MAGE-C2 and presented to cytolytic T lymphocytes by HLA-A2 [1].
  • CT10 mRNA is expressed in testis and in 20 to 30% of various human cancers [10].
  • The CTL clones recognizing these 2 peptides also recognized allogeneic tumor cell lines expressing MAGE-C2 and HLA-A2 [1].
  • No HCA587 protein was shown in normal tissues except germ cells in testis and Purkinji cells in cerebellum [2].
 

Associations of MAGEC2 with chemical compounds

  • Neither the selective MT2 melatonin receptor antagonists 4P-ADOT and 4P-PDOT (90 microg/mouse, s.c.) nor luzindole (300 microg/mouse, s.c.), which shows 25-fold higher affinity for the MT2 than the mt1 subtype, affected the phase of circadian activity rhythms when given alone at CT 10 [12].
  • To extend these findings to p130, the major phosphotyrosine-containing protein in CT10-transformed cells, we utilized a nitrocellulose filter binding assay [16].
  • Infection with CT10 causes a dramatic increase in the level of tyrosine phosphorylation of several cellular proteins [14].
  • In contrast, injection of shifters at CT 10 was associated with a pronounced rise in serum cortisol levels.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)[17]
  • Pre-treatment of hamsters at CT 6 with the serotonergic antagonist ritanserin (1-5 mg/kg, which acts at both 5-HT2 and the putative 5-HT7 receptor, impaired the phase-advancing response to arousal at CT 10 but the drug was without effect on phase advances induced by exposure to light [18].
 

Other interactions of MAGEC2

 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of MAGEC2

  • Additionally, patients with CT10-positive tumors had an improved disease-free survival (P=0.008) and overall survival (P=0.037) compared with patients with CT10-negative tumors [22].
  • Our data suggest that identification of this new HCA587/HLA-A*0201 peptide FLAKLNNTV may facilitate the design of peptide-based immunotherapies for the treatment of HCA587-bearing HCC patients [19].
  • An intraperitoneal injection of 1-100 microg/kg melatonin 2-h before the activity onset time (CT 10) induced phase advances of free-running activity rhythms in a dose-dependent manner (ED50=1.3 microg/kg) [23].
  • Western blot results proved the recombinant protein HCA587 had the similar antigenicity with its native counterpart [20].
