Message-ID: <7ebf7fb7-241c-48a3-aa27-d2570772157a@s20g2000yqh.googlegroups.com> Tumor suppressor genes in breast cancer (book). by Marc Lacroix InTextoResearch, Baelen (Wallonia), Belgium Nova Sciences Publishers, New York, ISBN 978-1-60456-326-9 https://www.novapublishers.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=3D6866 Breast cancer is characterized by the accumulation of genetic alterations, including point mutations and loss of entire DNA regions (=93loss of heterozygosity=94 or LOH). Among genes that are affected by such events, the =93tumor suppressor genes=94 (TSGs) have a peculiar interest since they often occupy pivotal positions in regulatory networks that control the cell cycle and/or encompass various signal transduction cascades. While a number of genes have been suggested as candidate TSGs in breast cancer, only a few of them have been confirmed in this status. They include TP53, BRCA1, BRCA2=85and are mainly involved in the control of DNA repair, cell proliferation, apoptosis and signaling. Some TSGs are linked to familial (hereditary) forms of breast cancer. The exact definition of what is a TSG is still debated. Recently, genes not affected by mutation or even LOH, but occasionally methylated have been considered as TSGs. Genes discussed: On chromosome 1: CLCA2, DIRAS3 (ARHI, RHOI, NOEY2), LPHH1, TTC4, RAD54L (RAD54), FABP3 (MDGI), RUNX3 (CBFA3, AML2), PRDM2 transcript 1 (RIZ transcript 1), SFN (14-3-3s) On chromosome 3: ROBO1 (DUTT1), PTPG (PTPRG); FHIT (FRA3B, included), PB1 (BAF180), RASSF1 transcript A, RBM5 (LUCA-15, H37), TUSC4 (NPRL2), TMEM158 (RIS1), SEMA3B, TGFBR2 (HNPCC6), APRG1 (C3ORF35), RARB transcript 2, VHL, ATR (FRP1) On chromosome 4: SLIT2, PRDM5, HPGD (PGDH1) On chromosome 5: DAB2 (C9), APC, IRF1 On chromosome 6: PLAGL1 (ZAC, LOT1), LATS1 (WARTS), IGF2R (MPRI) On chromosome 7: ST7 (TSG7, RAY1, FAM4A1, HELG) On chromosome 8: SFRP1 (FRP), DLC1 (ARHGAP7), BNIP3L, RHOBTB2 (DBC2), LZTS1 (FEZ1, F37), MTUS1 (ATIP), MCPH1 (BRIT1), ST18 On chromosome 9: CDKN2A (p16INK4A, p14ARF), SYK, DAB2IP (AIP1), TSC1 On chromosome 10: PTEN (MMAC1), PDCD4, MGMT On chromosome 11: WT1, TSG101, CDKN1C (BWS), CST6, IGSF4 (TSLC1, ST17, NECL2), ATM, LOH11CR2A (BCSC1) On chromosome 12: CCND2 On chromosome 13: LATS2, BRCA2 (FANCD1), RB1, ARL11 (ARLTS1) On chromosome 15: RAD51 (RECA) On chromosome 16: TSC2, CYLD, CTCF, CDH1, TERF2 (TRF2), TERFIP, FBXL8, LRRC29, ATBF1, WWOX, FBXO31, CBFA2T3 transcript B (MTG16), CPNE7, CDK10 (PISSLRE), FANCA, GAS11, C16ORF3 On chromosome 17: MAP2K4 (SERK1, SEK1, PRKMK4, MEK4), GABARAP, TP53, IC1, OVCA1(DPH1, DPH2L1), BRCA1, BECN1, SLC9A3R1 On chromosome 18: EPB41L3, SMAD4 (ELAC1, DPC4), DCC On chromosome 19: STK11 (LKB1) On chromosome 22: SMARCB1 (BAF47, SNF5), RRP22, TMPRSS6, CHEK2 (CHK2, RAD53), NF2, PRR5 From berleth from csb.utoronto.ca Tue Mar 24 16:39:19 2009 From: berleth from csb.utoronto.ca (thomas) Date: Tue Mar 24 17:23:23 2009 Subject: [Bioforum] Axioimager Message-ID: Hi everyone, Even among my limited number of collaborators, there are repeated problems with motorized parts in Zeiss Axioimagers, especially the condensor gives up after short use. Anyone with similar experiences? Please let's get together, I guess there is some construction flaw, because what can one do wrong through a remote control? Thanks, thomas
