Disease relevance of EBAG9

  • The estrogen receptor-binding fragment-associated antigen 9 (EBAG9) has been identified as a primary estrogen-responsive gene in human breast cancer MCF7 cells [1].
  • A high expression of EBAG9 has been observed in invasive breast cancer and advanced prostate cancer, suggesting a tumor-promoting role of the protein in malignancies [1].
  • Here we show that intratumoral (i.t.) administration of small interfering RNA against EBAG9 exerted overt regression of tumors following s.c. implantation of murine renal cell carcinoma (RCC) Renca cells [1].
  • Twenty-eight of 29 were T1/T2 stage carcinomas (<5 cm in diameter), whereas one third (21 of 61) of the tumors in which CMYC was increased but EBAG9 was not, were advanced T3-stage tumors (P = 0.0012) [2].
  • EBAG9 was more frequently expressed at sites of capsular penetration (79%) and lymph node metastasis (100%) compared to intracapsular primary tumors (54%) (p = 0.0264 and 0.0048, respectively) [3].
 

Psychiatry related information on EBAG9

 

High impact information on EBAG9

  • Given these results, tumor cells may evade immune surveillance by expression of RCAS1, which would suppress clonal expansion and induce apoptosis in RCAS1 receptor-positive immune cells [6].
  • RCAS1 acts as a ligand for a putative receptor present on various human cell lines and normal peripheral lymphocytes such as T, B and NK cells [6].
  • Inhibition of cell growth and induction of apoptotic cell death by the human tumor-associated antigen RCAS1 [6].
  • In contrast, RCAS-c-myc induced endocrine tumors exclusively, as determined by histology and detection of differentiation markers [7].
  • Posterior lateral plate mesoderm normally forms blood, but coculture of this tissue with anterior endoderm or infection with RCAS-crescent induces formation of beating heart muscle and represses formation of blood [8].

Associations of EBAG9 with chemical compounds

 

Regulatory relationships of EBAG9

  • RCAS1 (receptor-binding cancer antigen expressed on SiSo cells) and Fas ligand (FasL) are present in neoplastic cells, induce apoptosis of NK/T cells, and play a role in immune evasion [17].
 

Other interactions of EBAG9

  • Then cDNAs associated with two of them, EB1 and EB9, were isolated from libraries of human placenta and MCF-7 cells derived from a human breast cancer, respectively [18].
  • The mean RCAS1/GAPDH ratio of tumors (0.7) was not different from that of non-cancerous epithelia (0.7, p=0.715) [19].
  • The Role of RCAS1 and oxytocinase in immune tolerance during pregnancy [20].
  • Univariate analysis for a recurrence-free prognosis demonstrated that antibody detection of p53 expression (p=0.0333) and expression of RCAS1 (p=0.0008) is correlated with a significantly higher potential of recurrence [21].
  • EBAG9 immunoreactivity was significantly associated with estrogen receptor (ER) alpha labelling index (P = 0.0081), and inversely associated with the degree of intratumoural infiltration of mononuclear cells (P = 0.0020), or CD3(+) T lymphocytes (P = 0.0025) [14].
